Gold Coins by year from 1895 to 1810 1900
The turn of the century saw a new President, Theodore Roosevelt, assume office with the assassination of William McKinley. President Roosevelt asked sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign American coinage and this move led to a revolution in American coinage, with the period since being heavily influenced by the work of Saint Gaudens.
Saint Gaudens brought about the $10 Indian Head coin as well as the famed $20 Double Eagle. Additionally, Bela Lyon Pratt—a student of Saint Gaudens—designed the famous $2.50 'INCUSE' Indian Head coin that is unique as being only one of two coins in American history, along with the $5 Indian Head of the same era, as having an incuse design.
