The Certified $10 Gold Indian 1913 MS60 NGC coin represents an iconic piece of American numismatic history, featuring the elegant and distinctive design of the Indian Head eagle series. Minted in 1913, this coin is a testament to the artistic brilliance and technical excellence of the early 20th-century United States Mint.
Designed by the renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the Indian Head eagle series was introduced in 1907 as part of President Theodore Roosevelt's efforts to beautify American coinage. The obverse of the coin showcases a striking portrait of Liberty wearing a Native American headdress, symbolizing freedom and progress. The reverse features a majestic eagle standing on a bundle of arrows and clutching an olive branch, representing strength and peace.
The 1913 $10 Indian Head eagle was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, denoted by the absence of a mintmark. The Philadelphia Mint played a central role in producing circulating coinage for the United States and was the largest mint facility at the time.
While specific mintage figures for the 1913 $10 Indian Head eagle are not readily available, coins from this year typically have higher mintages compared to other years in the series. This higher mintage contributes to the availability of the coin in the numismatic market.
This particular coin has been certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) with an MS60 grade. MS, or Mint State, indicates that the coin is in uncirculated condition, with no wear present on the surfaces. The numerical grade of 60 indicates that the coin exhibits numerous bag marks, abrasions, or other surface imperfections typical of coins at this grade level.
Encapsulated in a protective holder provided by NGC, the Certified $10 Gold Indian 1913 MS60 coin is securely preserved and authenticated. The encapsulation not only safeguards the coin's condition but also certifies its authenticity and grade, providing peace of mind to collectors and investors.
While coins with MS60 grades may not exhibit the flawless surfaces of higher-grade specimens, they still represent an excellent opportunity for collectors to acquire examples of this historic series at a more affordable price point. The 1913 $10 Indian Head eagle, in particular, remains highly sought after by collectors due to its timeless design and historical significance.
Whether appreciated for its stunning artwork, historical importance, or potential investment value, the Certified $10 Gold Indian 1913 MS60 NGC coin stands as a cherished artifact of American numismatic heritage. It serves as a tangible link to a bygone era and is a prized addition to any collection.
