1909
.
PCGS graded MS-64
. This warmly colored 1909
Indian ten displays an overlay of honey-golden metallic
detail in virtually all areas. Struck with mathematical preci-
sion by the dies it boasts strong feather elements in the
stylized headdress as well as intricate detail in the eagle's
body, legs, and wings. This is a very high-end example with
great eye appeal.
Augustus Saint-Gaudens'so-called "Indian" head eagles are
more properly a invention of his creative genius having to
mold itself to the mechanical realities of coin design. The
profile Saint-Gaudens chose originated in a figure of Nike
('Victory'part of his Gen. Sherman Monument (1905), which
was ultimately inspired by a Hellenistic Wingless Victory on
the temple of Zeus Soter at Pergamon.
