Lot 4744
1907 $10 Indian. No Motto. PCGS graded MS-66. Lovely rich golden toning on both sides with smooth, satin luster throughout. Great eye appeal. Mint Engraver Charles Barber modified the Saint-Gaudens design several times in the first year of issue, providing much shallower relief and modified elements on the 1907 "No Motto" style coins. These modifications were intended to facilitate striking and use in commerce, although some have suggested they were directly in response to Barber's jealousy of Saint-Gaudens. The motto, IN GOD WE TRUST, was not included, due to personal objections of President Roosevelt. Pop 65; 6 finer, 5 in 67, 1 in 68 (PCGS # 8852) .
Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000.
