"President Roosevelt was best known for creating our National Park System but what a lot of people don't know is President Roosevelt also created the production of our most valuable and highly collected coins. Hi I'm Rui and we're going to be talking about collecting American Indian gold coin pieces. Produced in 1908 through the Great Depression these coins were mostly in the $2.50, $5, and $10 currency limits are truly America's most highly collected coins. The coins also have a lot of firsts. They were the first to be first to be printed in the inkeus release method which means the letters were actually raised above the coins and they were also the first American Indian coins to truly use an Indian portrayed on the coin. Prior to the Indian head gold coins all the Indians on American coins and on paper were Caucasians dressed as Indians. These coins are incredibly collectible. They are valued depending on the age and the condition are $400 to $5,000 per coin. If you are looking into collecting these coins make sure that you check with a reputable dealer at a quality antique store, a quality coin store. Make sure that they have a return policy because you want to make sure that what you are purchasing is what you think you're purchasing. Again I'm Rui and good luck collecting."
