The 1897 Indian Cent is a notable collectible coin from the United States, part of the Indian Head cent series which was minted from 1859 to 1909. The coin features a depiction of Lady Liberty in an Indian headdress on the obverse, and a wreath on the reverse, with a face value of one cent. This particular year produced a mintage of over 18 million coins, but higher-grade examples can be sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and aesthetic appeal. As with many coins, factors like condition, rarity, and demand significantly affect the market value.
