Offered here is a 1903 Indian Head cent from the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark), struck in bronze in the last decade of the Indian cent series, which ended in 1909.
Grade: Fine (F). Every feather in the headdress is outlined and separate, with inner feather lines showing on many of them, and the hair and ribbon behind the neck show detail. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the date are bold, and the rims are full with denticles all the way around. On the reverse, ONE CENT is bold, the shield lines are sharp, and the oak wreath, bow and arrows are well defined. LIBERTY on the headband is worn, so we grade it Fine.
Condition, please read: medium brown with some reddish-brown areas. The reverse has scattered small green spots (verdigris) in and around the wreath and fields, and the surfaces are somewhat granular. Please look at all the photos, which are the best description.
