The Indian Cent, officially known as the Indian Head penny, was produced by the United States Mint from 1859 to 1909. The 1869 Indian Cent features a design by engraver James B. Longacre, showcasing a Native American headdress on the obverse and a laurel wreath on the reverse. Minted primarily in copper, these coins are sought after by collectors for their historical significance, design, and relatively low mintage in certain years. The 1869 variant is particularly valued for its numismatic appeal, with condition significantly affecting its market worth.
