$10 Indian Head (1907-1933): Owning a Piece of American History
The beginning of the 20th century was a time of change for our money. President Theodore Roosevelt encouraged new coin designs, and in 1905 requested sculptor Saint-Gaudens to create US gold coins with ancient Greek tradition, based on Nike, Victory and Zeus.

Coin Controversy:
- The 1907 issue was partially destroyed.
- 30,000 pieces of the 1911-D coin were minted, the smallest collection in the series.
- Coins were produced by the Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco Mints.
- Indian Head coins were stuck sporadically between 1907-1933. Did you know that the total production of Indian coins was less than one year's mintage of Morgan Silver Dollars? In 1933, presidential executive order had production stopped, and gold coins were recalled and melted down.
