In 1907, the Liberty Head Eagle ($10 gold piece) was replaced by an Indian head motif which featured Miss Liberty in the form of an Indian crowned with a war bonnet.  An impressively majestic eagle dominates the reverse of the coin.  A departure from older standards is found in the edge of the coin where 46 raised stars are arranged signifying the states of the Union, instead of the more familiar reeded edge. 

 

President Roosevelt objected to the name of the Deity on coinage, saying that it came close to sacrilege and had IN GOD WE TRUST removed from the coin in 1907.  Among them was the "wire edge" variety which possessed a sharp rim and had periods before and after the E PLURIBUS UNUM motto.  Just 500 pieces were struck.  Only 42 of the same variety with rounded rim were struck.  The Indian Eagles were struck intermittently until 1933 when the United States ceased the minting of gold coins.
