Offered here is an 1888 Indian Head cent from the Philadelphia Mint, a 135+ year old bronze cent from the Indian Head series.
Grade: Good. The date 1888 is bold and fully separated, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is complete and readable all the way around, and the rims are full. The portrait and the headdress feathers are fully outlined; the headband is worn smooth, so LIBERTY does not show, as is normal for this grade. The reverse is a strong side for a Good coin: ONE CENT is bold, the vertical lines of the shield are clear, and the oak wreath, ribbon and arrows are fully outlined with some leaf texture.
Condition, please read: even, original medium brown. A few small dark spots on the cheek and in the field in front of the face. Light scratches and circulation marks, including a fine line by the neck and a light mark on the rim below the last 8, best seen in the angled photos. No cleaning, corrosion or rim dings seen. Please look at all the photos, which are the best description.

Mintage: 37,489,832
