1909 O INDIAN HEAD HALF EAGLE COMMEMORATIVE COIN SET PROOF
In 1904, President Theodore Roosevelt decided that American gold coins lacked artistic merit and needed a new look.
Roosevelt chose master sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign the $10 Eagle and the $20 Double Eagle.
Bela Lyon Pratt, a student of Saint-Gaudens, was chosen to design the new Quarter and Half Eagles.
One of the few U.S. coin designs not featuring Lady Liberty,
Bela Lyon Pratt's Indian Head design caused a major stir when it began circulating in 1908.
Besides depicting an Indian brave instead of Liberty,
the coins also featured a rare incuse design where the images and legends sink below the surface of the coin, rather than rising above it.
Today, Pratt's Indian Head design is considered an important aspect of the early 20th Century renaissance of American coinage.
It may cheapest be Christianity's greatest mystery: the Holy Trinity says that God is the Father,
God is the Son, and God is the Holy Spirit. Simply stated, it is the Bible's way of explaining how
God is the all-powerful Father, the human Son, and the guiding Spirit that watches over us every day.
