1908 marked the debut of one of the most unusual U.S. gold coins ever minted. Designer Bela Lyon Pratt created a magnificent Indian head gold coin design which broke with centuries of minting tradition. Since the times of the ancient Greek coinage, coins have always been minted with raised features. But Pratt's new $2½ Indian designs was embossed into the metal. This became known as an "incuse" design. As a result of their uniqueness, the $2½ Indian gold pieces are in high demand and create great interest among collectors. The magnificent obverse design is an Indian brave in full-feathered headdress with the word "Liberty" and 13 stars over the top. The reverse is a bold standing eagle. These $2½ Indians gold coins were struck in limited mintages from 1908 through the Great Depression in 1929. Each one is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated, mint condtion. In our opinion, the $2½ Indians are highly undervalued in relationship to where they were a year ago. For that reason, we're issuing a strong buy reommendation on the most Popular Dates in this series. Today, the Indian Head Series remains as one of the most interesting, most original, and most distinctive of all U.S. Gold Coins. If you're never held one of these in the palm of your hands, we urge you to order one today. |
