1907 Indian Head Gold Eagle Archival Edition
In 1905, President Teddy Roosevelt decided that American coins were unattractive and failed to properly reflect the nation's standing as an economic power. Skirting government protocol, he hired world-famous sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign the Gold Eagle. His design featured a youthful Miss Liberty who, at Roosevelt's request, wore a feathered Indian Headdress with the word LIBERTY on the band so the coin would have a distinctly American touch. When the Indian Head Gold Eagle went into production in 1907, the U.S. Mint only produced an estimated 50 "Proof" quality coins that were preserved for museums, numismatists, and those associated with the design. Today, very few of these magnificent treasures are known to still exist. When an original 1907 Indian Head Gold Eagle "Proof" came to auction in 2011, it sold for an unbelievable .185 Million!
