1909-S Indian Head Cent AU-53 NGC (Brown)
The 1909-S Indian Head cent represents a fascinating moment in United States coining history, emerging from the final year of this beloved design. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this issue is highly notable for its exceptionally low mintage of just 309,000 pieces. Finding one of these copper cents today offers a direct connection to the end of an era in American numismatic design. This particular coin has been certified in About Uncirculated 53 (AU-53) condition with a rich brown designation. It proudly bears the 'S' mint mark, indicating its origin at the West Coast facility. The obverse features the classic depiction of Liberty wearing a Native American feathered headdress, while the reverse displays the traditional wreath and shield design, surrounding the one cent denomination.
