Rare 1920 Indian Head $10 Gold Eagle and 1793 Chain Cent Coins Come to Sale With Gold Standard Auctions

The Indian Head $10 gold eagle coin was widely circulated in the early 20th century. Quite popular among numismatists, it is regarded as a very rare coin. One such exceptional piece that highlights the upcoming sale by Gold Standard Auctions is a 1920-S coin. It was designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who did not live to see its release owing to his premature death. The coin’s obverse depicts a bust of Liberty facing left, wearing Native American headgear. On the top are 13 stars, signifying the original colonies. The reverse portrays an eagle standing on arrows with an olive branch in its claws. Another significant $10 gold eagle is an 1803 coin, illustrating the Turban Head. Also known as the Capped Bust eagle, the coin was struck by the United States Mint between 1795 and 1804. 

Two 1793 chain cent coins also lead the listings. America’s first large cent, each one features a stylized Liberty head with flowing hair on the obverse. The reverse design depicts an interlocking chain with 15 links, representing the states existing back then.
