Reading the 1915 Coin

The obverse features a bust of a Native American man in a traditional headdress, with LIBERTY and the 1915 date. On the reverse, an American eagle grips a bundle of arrows and an olive branch, framed by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, E PLURIBUS UNUM and the denomination. The design is incused, sunk into the surface instead of raised, a style this series shares only with the $5 half eagle. NGC seals the coin in a holder that records its date and grade.
