1875 Indian Head Cent VG
The 1875 Indian Head Cent represents a classic era of American copper coinage. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin is composed of an alloy containing 95 percent copper, with the remaining five percent made of tin and zinc. Despite its age and the wear associated with its Very Good grade, the coin retains the essential elements of its nineteenth-century design. On the obverse, the central figure is Liberty, depicted wearing a traditional Native American feather headdress. The words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" encircle this central portrait. The reverse of the coin features a simple and direct layout, displaying the denomination "ONE CENT" nestled within a decorative wreath. This combination of symbolic imagery and straightforward inscription makes the coin a fascinating object of study for those interested in early American numismatic design.
