Struck in Philadelphia at the height of the Civil War, the 1863 Indian Head cent is one of the most historic small cents in American coinage. These thick copper-nickel "white cents" circulated hard during wartime, when coins of any kind were hoarded and paper scrip filled the gap. Holding one is holding a piece of 1863 America.
