The Indian Head cent, minted from 1859 to 1909, is a notable collectible coin in American numismatics. The 1862 Indian cent features a depiction of Lady Liberty in a Native American headdress on the obverse and the denomination surrounded by a laurel wreath on the reverse. Collectors seek out this year for its historical significance, as it falls within the Civil War era, and for its relatively limited mintage compared to other years. The condition and rarity of the coin significantly influence its market value.
