Start with the exact coin
Our Indian Head collection covers the historic $2.50, $5 and $10 gold denominations. It does not cover the Indian Head cent, the smaller historic gold dollar, or the modern American Gold Buffalo.
The quarter and half eagle feature Bela Lyon Pratt’s recessed design. The $10 eagle uses Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ different portrait of Liberty wearing a headdress. Read the denomination as well as looking at the artwork.
Match the coin to its setting
| Coin | Diameter | Shop |
|---|---|---|
| $2.50 quarter eagle | 18 mm | Browse bezels for $2.50 quarter eagle |
| $5 half eagle | 21.6 mm | Browse bezels for $5 half eagle |
| $10 eagle | 27 mm | Browse bezels for $10 eagle |
Use the reference diameter for the exact denomination, then verify the rim and thickness against the mounting. A historic $5 half eagle is not the same size as a modern $5 American Gold Eagle, despite their matching dollar values.
Wear, old mounts or edge damage can change how a particular coin seats. Send photographs of both faces and the edge if you are unsure. A bezel should hold the correct coin without forcing it into place.
Make it a personal keepsake
A restrained frame can leave the recessed portrait and lettering easy to see. A more decorative setting can make a family coin feel like a complete jewelry piece. Consider which face matters most to you and how much border you want around it.
Have an unfamiliar historic coin assessed before mounting, especially if condition or collector value matters. Even a removable bezel can contact and mark the edge. Keep the coin’s identifying details with the finished pendant.
Choose prong-set or screw-top construction based on the selected mounting and how it will be fitted. Check the bail and chain end fitting before completing the necklace. The listing is for the empty bezel; coins and chains are not included.
Compare matching bezels
Use the collection to compare available frames for your coin. Product details remain the final check for fit, metal, closure and what is included.
