The 1 One Cent Penny, commonly known as the Indian Head Cent, was produced by the United States Mint from 1859 to 1909. The Indian Head design, created by engraver James B. Longacre, features a profile of a Native American wearing a feathered headdress on the obverse, while the reverse displays a laurel wreath encircling the denomination. The specific coin dated 1878 was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, where the majority of Indian Head Cents were produced, and it is an important collectible for numismatists, especially in higher grades due to its historical significance and design appeal.
