Appearance
The $10 Indian Head obverse features the head of Liberty, donning an Indian war bonnet that reads LIBERTY. Thirteen stars representing the nations thirteen original colonies arc above the head. The date appears at the bottom of the coin.
The reverse depicts a proud Bald Eagle puffing its chest as it stands among olive branches. The Latin phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM lies to the viewers right of the eagle. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination (TEN DOLLARS) appear at the top and bottom of the coin, respectively. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST was added to the coin in the middle of 1908 by order of Congress.
The edge of the coin features raised stars signifying the states of the Union. Coins struck from 1907 to 1911 feature 46 stars. Two more stars were added the following year to commemorate the addition of New Mexico and Arizona to the Union. The $10 Indian was originally struck with a wire rim in 1907, which gave the coin a more 3-Dimensional appearance. Only 500 were produced before the Mint began producing regular strikes later in the same year.
