1870 Indian Head Cent XF-45 PCGS
The 1870 Indian Head Cent represents a fascinating era in American copper coinage. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin features a mintage of 5,275,000, making it a compelling survivor from the post-Civil War period. This specific specimen has been certified in Extra Fine 45 condition, preserving the intricate details of its nineteenth-century craftsmanship. Designed by James Longacre, the obverse of the penny presents a distinct profile of Lady Liberty adorned in a Native American feathered headdress. The reverse displays a detailed oak wreath that wraps around the centrally placed denomination, which reads simply as ONE CENT. The combination of these patriotic and natural motifs captures the artistic sensibilities of the United States during this transitional decade.
