Offered here is an 1890 Indian Head cent, struck in bronze at the Philadelphia Mint. A solid mid-grade 19th century example with strong feathers, a bold date and full rims.
Grade: Very Fine (VF). The headband is outlined top and bottom with LIBERTY present but worn, the ribbon is formed, and about two thirds of the feather detail remains. The reverse shield lines are mostly separate, and the oak wreath, ribbon and arrows show good outline with some fine detail. Full, sharp rims and denticles on both sides, with a bold date and legends.
Condition, please read: dark chocolate brown with copper highlights on the rims. There are scattered small greenish and darker spots on both sides, heaviest on the obverse portrait and fields (environmental toning), and a few light marks consistent with circulation. 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
Mint: Philadelphia (no mint mark)
Mintage: 57,180,114
