Description
Part of the Indian Head Half Eagles 1908-1929 series, the 1910 (S) Indian Head Half Eagle is a Gold Half Eagle from the San Francisco Mint. The U.S. Mint produced 770,200 examples, making this the highest mintage among 3 variants, accounting for 49% of the year's production. The obverse features a Native American chief wearing a feathered headdress, designed in incuse (sunken) relief — a revolutionary departure from traditional raised relief coinage and the reverse displays a standing eagle on a bundle of arrows with an olive branch, in incuse (sunken) relief. Four-mint production at Philadelphia, Denver, New Orleans (none), and San Francisco. The series settled into regular production. The San Francisco Mint, a Gold Rush-era institution, now specializes in proof and collector coinage. Estimated market value ranges from $1.4K to $13K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 8.36 grams, 21.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #8519.
