1909-S Indian Head Cent VF-30 NGC
The 1909-S Indian Head cent represents the final chapter of a beloved design era in United States coinage. Struck in San Francisco, this copper piece is highly notable for its place at the very end of the series run. The coin is composed of ninety-five percent copper, with the remaining five percent made of tin and zinc. On the obverse, the design features Liberty wearing a feather headdress, surrounded by the legend denoting the United States. The reverse showcases the denomination of one cent nestled inside a wreath. A shield sits at the top of the design, while a bundle of arrows secured by a bow decorates the bottom. Crucially, the "S" mint mark is located on the reverse, indicating its origin from the San Francisco Mint during this final production year.
