The Story

This listing is for one 1886 Indian Head Cent, Type 2, as pictured. Choose by grade. The difference between type 1 and type 2 for 1886 can be seen at the last feather. One a type 1, the feather will be pointing between the "I" and "C" in "America" and on the Type 2, it will be in between the "C" and "A" in "America".

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.
