My latest pick up. A $10 Indian from 1907 with "No Motto" graded PCGS MS62 CAC

Below is a scan of the obverse and the reverse of my latest pickup. This $10 Indian (No Motto variety) is the 11th coin in my type set collection and my first gold piece purchase in over 25 years. It has a bit of a weak strike on the obverse especially around the curls as most of these do, but in my opinion the coin is free from large marks and that was the reason for choosing this coin for my type set.
As always comments are appreciated and thanks for looking.

Congrats
I love it as well.
Hmmmm.....Why does the holder say "No Motto" when ALL 1907 Eagles of this design are absent the religious motto? Seems kind of superfluous like writing 1921 Peace dollar, "High Relief."
They wanted to differentiate it from the 1907 Liberty With Motto.

She's a beauty! Congrats!

Nice looking coin my friend. I like it.
Looks great and perfect for a type set.
Very nice.
Here’s my recent grab too...scan doesn’t show the nice color and luster very well, need some real pics. I guess great minds think...
Nice one SS! Love the solid gaskets vs. the prongs.

Weak strike or not she is a beauty. Nice pickup.
Sweet, congratulations and thanks for sharing !!!

@Paradisefound I agree and thought it had better appeal than the grade indicates.
@SeattleSlammer Very nice looking piece you have there. My $10 Indian with Motto will likely be a 1932 as well. I also agree that scans do not show the luster of the coins so well and mine like yours likely has much more luster than the scans show.
@LindeDad Congrats on your $10 Indian grading. I'm sure you can't wait to get it back in hand.
Thanks to everyone for all the comments.

It was graded before I sent it in to get a new holder, and the glamor shot by Phil and his crew.
No Mottos to go to fill the gold page.
I got my 1932 last December;

For coins like this, prongs are the way to go for me. The edge of these is a masterpiece in itself, and you can't admire them in the solid gasket holders.
I like the pre-prong holders, but the PCGS prongs look a lot better than the NGC.

For Eagle fans, here are a couple of extracts from a present work-in-progress on the subject of Saint-Gaudens $10 gold coins.
@Asheland She is a beauty and your photos show some great luster. I hope to pick one up as nice.
@jwitten I agree as the prongs give you the ability to view the design on the edge of the coin.

Wow that’s a really nice coin, a $10 eagle is on my bucket list of coin I want to get
Very, very nice gold coin.... Great addition. Cheers, RickO
IMO, the 1907 NM $10 is the best looking coin in the whole US catalog. Here is mine.
i really like the looks of the $10 eagles here. nice coin all
A 1907 Eagle is the only design from Saint-Gaudens' studio directly used for coinage. All others were modified to a considerable extent.
