1867 Indian Head Cent Fine
The 1867 Indian Head cent represents a classic era of United States minor coinage. Struck in Philadelphia, this one-cent piece is composed of an alloy containing 95 percent copper, with the remaining 5 percent made of tin and zinc. It survives today in Fine condition, showing the honest wear of a coin that circulated during the post-Civil War period. On the obverse, the design by James B. Longacre features a profile of Liberty wearing a traditional Native American feather headdress, with the year 1867 positioned below the portrait. The legend indicating the issuing nation surrounds the central figure. The reverse of the coin is elegantly simple, displaying the denomination "ONE CENT" nestled within a protective wreath. This combination of classical allegory and straightforward American symbolism makes the coin a fascinating specimen for study and appreciation.
