The Story
This listing is for one 1871 Indian Head Penny, as pictured. The coin in the picture is the one you'll receive. 1871 is one of the early key dates for Indian Head Pennies, and well sought after by collectors. This cent has obverse corrosion issues, as can be seen in the photos. Corrosion Issues, but XF detail.
The Indian Head cent, also known as an Indian Head penny, was a one-cent coin ($0.01) produced by the United States Bureau of the Mint from 1859 to 1909. It was designed by James Barton Longacre, the Chief Engraver at the Philadelphia Mint.
The centenary of the birth of assassinated president Abraham Lincoln would occur in February 1909, and large numbers of privately manufactured souvenirs were already being issued. Many citizens had written to the Treasury Department, proposing a Lincoln coin.
For a collector, this is an excellent addition for US cents or coins in general.
