Saint Gaudens Double Eagle

President Theodore Roosevelt felt that the coins during his era are ugly and unappealing. For the late President, these coins are not just round bits of metal meant for trading – they reflected the nation’s greatness. During 1905 onwards, United states had grown to be one of the most powerful countries around the globe. And Roosevelt wanted to make sure that the coins reflect this greatness.

Liberty Head Double Eagle

Just like its $1 and $3 gold coin counterparts – the Liberty Head Double Eagle came to be during the California Gold Rush that struck the whole country during 1849. The foothills of Sierra Nevada was like a fountain of gold. Literally, gold was flowing out of this area!

Indian Head Eagle

One of the most beautiful coins ever produced by the US Mint – that’s how coin collectors would describe the Indian Head Eagle gold coin (which is also known as the $10 Eagle)…minted from the year 1907 all the way to 1933. And it’s not really surprising why. The history of the Indian Head Eagle coin is just as rich and as beautiful as its appearance.

Liberty Head Eagle

Liberty Head Eagle – valued at $10 a piece during its minting, it is one of the very first American Gold coins ever created…starting in 1795. The first design of the Liberty Head Eagle features Lady Liberty wearing a conical cap, which is sometimes called as a turban. Along with that, it has an eagle with a wreath right above its head on the reverse.
