Additional Description: Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1910, this Indian Head five-dollar gold coin features Bela Lyon Pratt’s distinctive incuse design, with a Native American profile wearing a headdress on the obverse and a strong, detailed eagle on the reverse. Estimated to grade between Very Good and Fine, the coin shows moderate circulation wear while retaining recognizable outlines of both the portrait and the eagle. Philadelphia strikes of this period were produced with care for everyday use, and the coin’s even toning and soft surfaces reflect its history in commerce. It provides collectors with a direct connection to the artistry and monetary life of early twentieth-century America.
