1870 Indian Head Cent Good
The 1870 Indian Head Cent represents a classic era of American copper coinage, minted at the Philadelphia facility. Composed of 95 percent copper, with the remaining five percent made of tin and zinc, this penny has survived for over a century, carrying the honest wear of its journey through time in a graded state of Good. On the obverse, the design presents a depiction of Liberty adorned in a feathered headdress, surrounded by the legend of the issuing nation and the 1870 year of production. The reverse features the denomination of ONE CENT centered within a detailed wreath, crowned by a shield at the top and anchored by a bundle of arrows secured with a bow at the bottom.
