Indian Head Cent

Bronze Composite Penny

Minted at: Philadelphia (No Mint Mark)

Metal Composition: 95% Copper - 5% Tin and Zinc

Minted for over 50 years, Indian Head cents are widely considered the most beautiful copper coins in American history. Introduced shortly before the War between the States in 1859, they were struck by the U.S. Mint until 1909. Designed by James Longacre, these historic cents were the nation's first coinage tribute to the noble, proud American. Though Lincoln now graces the American penny, there have been several other incarnations of the cent, the best known being the Indian head penny. The longest running version other than the Lincoln cent, its introduction in 1859 replaced a penny the size of the modern half dollar. 1897 1C Indian Cent PCGS PR64BN (PHOTO SEAL).
