The 1879 Indian Head cent is a notable collectible coin from the United States Mint, part of the Indian Head cent series produced from 1859 to 1909. The coin features a representation of Lady Liberty wearing a Native American headdress on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. As a one-cent coin, it was widely circulated during its time, but its value can vary significantly based on factors such as condition, mint mark, and rarity, making it of interest to numismatists and collectors. The 1879 Indian cent, in particular, is desirable for its historical significance and design appeal.
