Lot 1574
1907 $10 Indian. No periods. NGC graded MS-65. Lovely rich golden toning on both sides. Popular first year of issue. This is a dazzling gold specimen of the No Motto, No Periods Indian $10 of the first year of issue. The coin displays burning-gold mint bloom, and is powerfully struck and preserved without a flaw. Normal detail on all devices is typical for this issue; however, with present specimen we see a wonderful exception in the broad regions of crisp strike found on the hair waves and eagle's wing and body. A remarkable coin. Pop 314. (PCGS # 8852) .
The first of these coins struck had no motto IN GOD WE TRUST as had the later issues, starting in 1908. President Theodore Roosevelt personally objected to the use of the Deity's name on coins. The motto was restored to the coins by an act of Congress in 1908.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500.
