1908 Indian Head Gold Half Eagle Coins
 | Minted by the United States Mint, the 1908 Indian Head Half Gold Eagle was created by the famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gauden. Saint-Gauden’s original design produced an Eagle with a bust of Victory on the obverse and a standing eagle on the reverse, but President Roosevelt insisted that Saint-Gauden add a feathered war bonnet to Victory, hence given the coin its name. The Indian Head was minted from 1907 to 1933 and served as legal tender until 1933. | |
