1907 $10 Indian MS (PCGS#8852)

Spring 2025 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Lot Description: This is a simply gorgeous example of a numismatically significant and popular first-year issue in the Indian eagle series. Plentiful and lustrous mint frost is layered on both sides, and the fields are silky smooth in appearance. Bathed in original and attractive medium gold color with a hint of pinkish-apricot, with a sharp to full strike that rounds out an impressive list of attributes. Exquisite!<p>The Philadelphia Mint produced 239,406 examples of the modified No Periods design in 1907. As the first examples of the new eagle to reach the general public, many 1907 No Periods coins were saved for posterity and Mint State pieces are plentiful in an absolute sense. On the other hand, many of these coins suffer from soft striking detail in the centers as well as general mishandling. For specialists seeking exceptional coins for their collections, this issue can be challenging at the finest levels of Mint State preservation, as here. This is a significant opportunity to acquire a stellar-quality example of the first circulating coin of the Saint-Gaudens $10 Indian eagle type.
