The Indian Cent, officially known as the Indian Head penny, was produced by the United States Mint from 1859 to 1909. The 1868 Indian Cent was minted in Philadelphia and features a portrait of Lady Liberty in an Indian headdress on the obverse, while the reverse showcases a wreath surrounding the denomination of "One Cent." This specific year is notable among collectors for its relatively low mintage and significant historical context, as it falls within the series' earlier years, making it a sought-after piece for numismatists.
