1864-1909 Indian Head Cents Average Circulated
The Indian Head Cent, minted from 1864 to 1909, represents a fascinating era in United States coinage. This small copper piece, composed of 95 percent copper with the remaining 5 percent made of tin and zinc, showcases a distinct artistic direction of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Designed by James B. Longacre, the obverse of the coin features a profile of Liberty adorned in a traditional Native American feathered headdress. Surrounding this central figure is the inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". The reverse of the coin is elegantly simple, displaying the denomination "ONE CENT" nestled within a stylized wreath. These circulated pieces from the Philadelphia Mint offer a tangible connection to the daily commerce of a bygone American era.
