The Indian head on the coin has been cut out with a few cut-outs. The careful polishing brings out all the details once again.
Since the 1790s, the so-called Eagle gold coins with denominations of 2 1/2, 5 and 10 dollars have been legal tender in the USA. The 10-dollar Indian Head coin was minted from 1906 as the successor to the coin depicting Lady Liberty, the goddess of freedom. It marked the end of the coin era, which lasted around 150 years.
The great stock market crash in the USA in 1929 prompted the American government to stop issuing gold coins altogether. Due to the continuing rise in the price of gold in the years following the Great Depression, all tangible coins were melted down.
When looking at all three coins, it is noticeable that the portrait on the 10-dollar coin differs from the other two. This is because the Indian's face is based on that of Lady Liberty, who was originally minted on the coin, and thus appears much more delicate and feminine.
Money clip
The special thing about this money clip is that it is not a replica of the coins, but a genuine American gold coin. Recognizable by the embossed year, some of these coins are already around 100 years old. The coin already has a very high intrinsic value, which is further enhanced by the processing.
