1865 Indian Head Cent XF
This United States one cent piece from 1865 offers a fascinating glimpse into the nation's coinage during a pivotal year in American history. Struck in Philadelphia, the coin is composed of an alloy containing 95 percent copper, with the remaining 5 percent made of tin and zinc. As an example of the beloved Indian Head series, it carries a distinct design created by James B. Longacre. The obverse presents a stylized depiction of Liberty wearing an ornate feather headdress, with the word LIBERTY visible on the band. Surrounding this central figure are the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the date 1865. While the design elements on the front show clear signs of wear from its time in circulation, the coin still retains its historical character. On the reverse, the denomination ONE CENT is framed elegantly inside a simple wreath.
