1907 Indian Head Eagle
PHILADELPHIA · 90% GOLD, 10% COPPER · 239,406 STRUCK
Worth about $2,000–$2,450 circulated and $16,750–$23,000 in MS-65.
The 1907 Indian Head Eagle is a common date from the Philadelphia Mint, with 239,406 pieces struck. In circulated grades (G-4 to EF-40) our estimate is $2,000–$2,450, and a well-preserved MS-65 example is estimated at $16,750–$23,000. Circulated coins of this date trade at or just above the value of their metal, so the live melt value on this page is the best guide to a worn coin.
The first Indian Head eagle, regular issue with no periods around TEN DOLLARS. There is no IN GOD WE TRUST: the motto was restored in 1908.
Type coin shown: 1907 Indian Head eagle with periods before and after TEN DOLLARS (a rare 1907 variety); regular 1907 and 1908 no-motto coins have the same design without the periods. We do not yet hold a licensed photograph of the 1907 Indian Head Eagle itself, so this is the nearest dated coin of the same design. The design is the same; the date and condition of your coin will differ. Photograph: 1907 Indian Head eagle without motto (design of 1907 and 1908), National Numismatic Collection.

On the reverse, to the left of the arrow held by the eagle (1908-D no-motto coins: above the leaves near the eagle's feet). Philadelphia coins have no mint mark.
Is my 1907 Indian Head Eagle rare?
No. It is a common date. Its value depends mostly on grade, originality and, for gold coins, the melt value.
