Offered here is an 1890 Indian Head cent, struck in bronze at the Philadelphia Mint. A genuine 136-year-old example of one of America's most loved coin designs, and a nice type coin for any collection.
Grade: Good (G). Full rims on both sides with a clear, bold date and complete legends UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The Indian's profile and headdress are fully outlined, with the feathers worn smooth and LIBERTY on the headband worn away, as is typical for the grade. The reverse shows ONE CENT boldly, an outlined oak wreath and shield with the shield lines still visible.
Condition, please read: even medium brown color with lighter golden-brown areas in the obverse fields. Light scattered marks from circulation and a few small dark spots, mostly on the reverse in the wreath and near ONE. No rim damage seen. Please see all the photos, which are the best description.
Composition: bronze (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc)
Denomination: 1 Cent
Mintage: 57,180,114
Ungraded and uncertified. The approximate grade is our opinion only. THE COIN SHOWN IS THE EXACT COIN YOU WILL RECEIVE.
