Created by Bela Lyon Pratt in 1908, the Indian Gold Half Eagle is one of the most unique coins in U.S. history. This series introduced the first incuse-strike design for a circulating coin in America, where the designs are recessed into the coin’s surface rather than raised. It also features one of the earliest examples of indigenous imagery on American currency. Right now, 1910 Pre-33 $5 Indian Half Eagle Gold Coins are available online from Provident Metals.
