[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1166199, member: 26030"]So cool that you own two Indians, hiho. The $10 Gold Indian might be my 2nd favorite coin design behind the $20 St. Gaudens -- it's no wonder as they were both actually designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens -- who I think is the premier coin designer of all time. If memory serves me correctly, the word Indian attached to the $10 gold is a misnomer. It's actually Miss Liberty wearing an Indian Headress. I looked at some MS65 Indians, but they were out of my price range (costing twice as much as the MS64s, over $4,000) -- so I just looked for the best MS64 I could find.
