1913 $10 Indian Head Gold Eagle – NGC PF67
Superb Gem Proof Indian Head Eagle with Exceptional Preservation
The 1913 $10 Indian Head Gold Eagle NGC PF67 is a superbly preserved Proof from the celebrated Indian Head Eagle series designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
The obverse displays Liberty wearing a Native American feathered headdress, surrounded by thirteen stars, while the reverse features a standing eagle perched on a bundle of arrows wrapped with an olive branch, symbolizing strength and peace. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, Proof examples were produced in extremely limited numbers for collectors and dignitaries.
Graded PF67 by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), this Superb Gem Proof specimen displays outstanding surface preservation, sharply defined design elements, and the characteristic textured proof finish associated with early 20th-century U.S. gold proofs. With only four examples certified at this elite grade, it represents an exceptional condition rarity within the series.
Certified PF67 by NGC, the coin exhibits remarkable definition across Liberty’s headdress feathers, facial detail, and surrounding stars, while the reverse eagle shows crisp feather definition and strong architectural detail in the arrows and olive branch. The original proof surfaces remain exceptionally well preserved, contributing to the coin’s outstanding eye appeal and confirming its lofty grade.
