1861 Indian Head Cent Copper Nickel Civil War Semi Key Date VG Sharp Feathers CN

1861 Indian Head Cent — Copper-Nickel Civil War Semi-Key — Very Good (VG)

A solid Very Good example of the sought-after 1861 Indian Head Cent. With a mintage of just 10.1 million — far lower than the surrounding copper-nickel years — 1861 is a recognized semi-key of the series. The headdress feathers show sharp outlines, the date is bold, and the rims are full on both sides. Struck in the first year of the Civil War, these thick "white cents" are a tangible piece of American history.
