Offered here is an 1888 Indian Head cent from the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark), struck in bronze. A genuine 19th century American cent, more than 135 years old.
Grade: Good. The rims are full all the way around and the date 1888 and all legends are bold and clear. The portrait and headdress are fully outlined with the bases of the feathers showing; LIBERTY on the headband is worn away, as is normal for the grade. On the reverse, ONE CENT is bold, the shield shows its vertical lines and the oak wreath is outlined with some leaf detail.
Condition, please read: even chocolate brown with some darker toning on the portrait and a few small dark spots, typical for a circulated Indian cent of this age. No rim damage seen. Please look at all the photos, which are the best description.
Composition: bronze (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc)
Mintage: 37,489,832
