Indian Cents, also known as Indian Head pennies, were issued by the United States Mint from 1859 to 1909. The 1882 Indian Cent, struck in Philadelphia, features a distinctive design of Lady Liberty in a Native American headdress on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. The coins are composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc, and they were produced as one-cent pieces. Collectors value Indian Cents for their historical significance and artistic design, with the 1882 date being particularly sought after in higher grades.
