Each coin contains 0.4838 troy oz of gold at .900 purity — the standard alloy used for all pre-1933 U.S. $10 Eagles — and shows only the lightest traces of wear consistent with limited circulation nearly a century ago. Collectors and buyers of physical gold prize these coins for their historical scarcity: most were melted following the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, making surviving AU examples genuinely difficult to find today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"aaa-pdp__h\" style=\"font-size:18px;color:#023864;margin:22px 0 10px;border-bottom:2px solid #d4ae3b;padding-bottom:6px;display:inline-block;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"aaa-pdp__specs\" style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eMint Mark\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003eVaries\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003ePurity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003e.900\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003eVaries (Philadelphia, Denver, or San Francisco)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eThickness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003e2.03 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eDiameter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003e27 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eEdge Design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003eRaised stars\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003e$10 Indian Head Eagle (1907–1933)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003ePackaging Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003eMultiples of 20 in plastic tubes; all others in protective plastic flips\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eMetal Weight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003e0.4838 troy oz\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003eObverse: Liberty in Native American war bonnet with 13 stars and 'Liberty' on hair band\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"aaa-pdp__h\" style=\"font-size:18px;color:#023864;margin:22px 0 10px;border-bottom:2px solid #d4ae3b;padding-bottom:6px;display:inline-block;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"aaa-pdp__faq\" style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdt style=\"font-weight:700;color:#023864;margin:14px 0 4px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eWhat exactly is a Gold $10 Indian Head Eagle in AU grade?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd style=\"margin:0 0 4px;color:#3a434f;line-height:1.55;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003eIt is an authentic U.S. government-issued gold coin produced from 1907 through 1933, graded Almost Uncirculated (AU), meaning it saw only slight circulation wear before being set aside.
