With a few cut-outs, the Indian head on the coin was uncovered and refined by 2 set diamonds each. Through careful polishing, all details are once again finely worked out.
Since the 1790s the so-called Eagle gold coins with denominations of 2 1/2, 5 and 10 dollars were legal tender in the USA. The 10-dollar Indian Head coin was minted from 1906 onwards as the successor to the coin with the goddess of freedom Lady Liberty. It marks the end of the coinage era, which lasted around 150 years.
The big stock market crash in the USA in 1929 caused the American government to stop issuing gold coins in principle. Due to the further 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 likeness on the 10-dollar coin differs from the other two. This is because the face of the Indian is modelled on that of Lady Liberty, which 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 about 100 years old. The coin already has a very high intrinsic value, which is increased by the processing.
