Offered here is an 1891 Indian Head cent, struck in bronze at the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark). A genuine 19th century United States cent, more than 135 years old, with the oak wreath and shield reverse.

Grade: VG (Very Good). Full rims all the way around, and the date and legends are complete. The feathers are outlined and separate from the head. LIBERTY on the headband is worn away, and the letters of UNITED are softer than the rest of the legend. On the reverse the shield stripes are clear, ONE CENT is bold, and the oak wreath shows leaf outlines with a distinct bow and arrow tips.

Condition, please read: medium brown with darker mottled toning on the portrait, the fields and parts of the legend, and light marks in the obverse fields. The surfaces are somewhat granular, and the reverse wreath has small dark deposits. No rim damage seen. Please see all the photos, which are the best description.

Composition: bronze (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc)
Mintage: 47,072,350
Condition: ungraded, raw coin. The grade is our opinion only.
