What makes Indian Head gold eagles so popular? For one, it is their size, which – at 27 millimeters wide and about half an ounce – is a substantially large gold coin. Another thing that collectors and investors alike admire about Indian Head gold eagles is the design itself, which President Theodore Roosevelt commissioned Augustus Saint-Gaudens to create. Saint-Gaudens was already a famous sculptor by the time President Roosevelt had tapped him to redesign gold coinage in 1905, and the Indian Head design, which is actually a depiction of Miss Liberty wearing a Native American headdress, quickly became popular.
