About This Coin
The 1932 Indian Head Eagle is a United States Gold Eagle from the Indian Head Eagles 1907-1933 series — a late issue, 14th of 15 years in the series. In 1932, coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a combined mintage of 4.5 million. This represents the highest annual mintage in the entire series, above the series median of 586,695. The obverse features a Native American wearing a feathered war bonnet, facing left and the reverse displays a standing eagle with the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM and IN GOD WE TRUST. Philadelphia-only production. Eagles struck in the final years before gold coinage ended. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 16.7 grams, 26.8 mm in diameter, with a raised stars edge. Struck two years after the 1930 key date, the lowest-mintage regular issue in the series. Across its variants, estimated values range from $2.6K to $2.9K depending on mint mark, grade, and strike type. A notable auction result reached $38K in MS67 grade at Stack's Bowers. Designed by Augustus Saint Gaudens.
