In 1905 at the request of Teddy Roosevelt, master sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens was asked to create an entirely new look to U.S. gold coins. Specifically, the President asked for coins to be created in the ancient Greek tradition with fresh, new designs.  The great sculptor mixed two traditions for the $10 gold coins by using the "Miss Liberty" profile adding a feathered Indian headdress. The unusual edge of the coin was decorated with 46 raised stars to represent the 46 states. Two more stars were added to the coins after 1912 when Arizona and New Mexico were added to the Union.  The reverse of the new $10 Indian gold coins showed a proud eagle perched on a bundle of arrows. The magnificent result was what many consider to be one of  the nation's finest works of art in gold.
