Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Eagle Coin AU Grade

Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Eagle Coin AU Grade
$5 Indian Head Gold Half Eagle
These coins were designed under the authority of President Teddy Roosevelt who, at the beginning of the 20th Century demanded that our boring and unartistic coinage get a make-over. The Mint had wanted to take Saint-Gaudens $20.00 Double Eagle design and strike it in smaller $2.50 Quarter Eagle and $5.00 Half Eagle sizes. But President Roosevelt didn’t want that. He wanted new designs.
