Lot Description

The mintage of 318,500 coins for the circulation strike 1910 Indian eagle was thinned out to a great extent by the gold recall of 1933. With many examples melted in 1937, today perhaps just two or three percent of this issue's mintage survive in various grades. Most Mint State survivors are repatriations from foreign bank hoards beginning in the 1940s and 1950s. This was the era of Mr. Stack's most intense gold coin collecting, and in Choice AU the coin he acquired was probably a survivor of limited domestic circulation as opposed to a repatriation. Lustrous orange-gold surfaces are boldly to sharply defined overall with abundant eye appeal.
