1880-1889 Indian Head Cents XF
During the 1880s, the United States Mint in Philadelphia produced a distinctive copper cent that remains a favorite for those exploring nineteenth century American coinage. These particular pieces survive in Extra Fine condition, showing the clear details of a design that circulated widely in daily commerce. Made from an alloy of 95 percent copper combined with 5 percent tin and zinc, these coins have a warm, classic composition. The obverse features a profile of Liberty adorned with a traditional Native American feather headdress, with the word LIBERTY clearly inscribed across the band. Encircling this central figure is the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. On the reverse, the coin displays the denomination ONE CENT. This text is framed by a stylized wreath, creating a simple yet elegant layout that defined the small cent era in the late 1800s.
