The 1901 Indian Cent is a common issue in the Indian Cent Series that would make a great type coin because of its high mintage, accessibility and affordability. Circulated coins are extremely common and accessible. In order for uncirculated coins to be scarce and valuable there must be some, if not complete, red coloring and in gem condition.
