1910 US$5 Indian Head gold coin, PCGS MS63. Mintage 604,000. At the turn of the twentieth century, US President Theodore Roosevelt believed that American coinage was "artistically of atrocious hideousness." As designed by noted sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt, the relief of this coin is incuse, where the main features of the portrait, eagle, and lettering are struck below the background surface of the coin rather than raised above it as on most other coinage. This makes the die more challenging to cut, since the raised letters on the die are vulnerable to breaking off during production. The advantage is that the detail on the final coin is more durable since it is somewhat protected from wear.
