Additional Description: Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1910, this Indian Head five-dollar gold coin exemplifies Bela Lyon Pratt’s distinctive incuse design, with a Native American head wearing a headdress on the obverse and a bold eagle on the reverse. Believed to grade Extremely Fine, the coin retains sharp detail across both the portrait and the eagle, showing only light wear from circulation. Philadelphia issues of this era are noted for their consistency and quality, and the coin’s even surfaces and gentle luster reflect careful handling over the years. It offers collectors a tangible connection to the artistry and economic life of early twentieth-century America.
