The 1909 Indian Head cent, often referred to as the Indian cent, is a significant collectible coin issued by the United States Mint. It features a depiction of Lady Liberty wearing a Native American headdress on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. The coin was produced in relatively small quantities, with only a few variations, making it a sought-after item among collectors, particularly the 1909-S V.D.B. edition, which is highly valued due to its rarity. The Indian Head cent was minted from 1859 until 1909, and the 1909 issue marked the end of this iconic series.
