The 1889 Indian Cent is a notable collectible coin from the United States Mint, specifically produced in Philadelphia. It features the iconic Indian head design on the obverse, which was created by engraver James B. Longacre. The reverse showcases a wreath enclosing the denomination "One Cent." As part of the Indian Head series, which was minted from 1859 to 1909, the 1889 coin is especially sought after by collectors for its historical significance and affordability, given the large mintage of around 50 million coins. However, condition and rarity can significantly affect its market value.
