This coin is an 1869 Indian Penny, a one-cent piece issued by the United States. It was minted in Philadelphia and carries the "P" mint mark. The coin is composed of bronze and has a diameter of 19 mm, weighing approximately 3.11 grams. The Indian Cents, which were produced from 1859 to 1909, are notable for their distinctive design featuring a Native American headdress on the obverse side and a wreath on the reverse side. The 1869 issue had a mintage of 6,420,000 coins, making it a relatively common date in the series. The condition of this coin—whether uncirculated, circulated, or in various states of wear—will significantly affect its market value. However, if well preserved, it can appeal to both collectors and those interested in United States numismatics. As with any coin, factors such as unique markings, toning, and overall aesthetic appeal can also influence its desirability among collectors.
