Offered here is an 1890 Indian Head cent, struck in bronze at the Philadelphia Mint. A high-grade 19th century example with a full, bold LIBERTY and nearly complete feather detail.
Grade: About Uncirculated (AU). LIBERTY is complete and sharp on a crisp headband, every feather shows its center vein and barbs, and the ribbon stands apart from the hair. Only the feather tips, the hair above the ear and the cheek show light rub. The reverse is bold: sharp shield lines, a full oak wreath with leaf veins, and distinct ribbon and arrows. Full rims and denticles on both sides, with some original luster in the fields.
Condition, please read: brown with red-brown and copper highlights and a touch of violet toning. There is a small reddish spot on the reverse bow knot, a few small dark specks in the obverse fields, and a few light scattered marks consistent with the grade. No rim damage. Please see all the photos, which are the best description.
Composition: bronze (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc)
Denomination: 1 Cent
Mint: Philadelphia (no mint mark)
Mintage: 57,180,114
