Description :

A mixed-date lot of twelve (12) U.S. Indian Head cents, ranging from the Civil War era through the early 20th century. Notable dates include an 1860 copper-nickel issue (first year with the laurel wreath reverse), a transitional 1860s bronze strike, and later examples such as 1899, 1901, 1903 (×2), and 1906. Coins are in circulated condition with varying degrees of wear and patina; some retain clear date and Liberty head detail, while others exhibit heavier age toning.

Each coin features the classic James B. Longacre Liberty with feathered headdress obverse and oak wreath with shield reverse.

dentified Dates:

  • 1860 (Copper-Nickel)

  • 1899

  • 1901

  • 1903 

  • 1906

  • Plus additional 19th–early 20th century Indian Head cents (mixed, partially legible dates)

Specifications:

  • Composition: Copper-nickel (early issues), bronze (later issues)

  • Diameter: 19 mm

  • Mint: Philadelphia (no mintmarks produced for this series)

Collecting Note:

Struck from 1859–1909, the Indian Head cent remains one of America’s most iconic small cents. Early copper-nickel issues (1859–1864) are thicker and heavier than later bronze strikes and are highly desirable among type collectors. Mixed-date lots like this are ideal for album building, die variety study, or as an affordable entry point into Indian Head cent collecting.
