Offered here is a 1903 Indian Head cent from the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark), struck in bronze during the last decade of the Indian cent series, which ended in 1909.
Grade: Good. The date 1903 and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA are full and clear, and the rims are complete all the way around. The portrait and headdress are outlined with the feathers separated at their tips; LIBERTY is worn away, with only a faint trace of the upper headband edge. The reverse is stronger than the obverse: ONE CENT is bold, the vertical lines of the shield are clear and separate, and the oak wreath still shows leaf detail, with the bow and arrows outlined.
Condition, please read: medium to dark brown. There is green corrosion (verdigris) on the reverse, running through ONE CENT and down into the wreath and bow area, plus a few small dark spots on the reverse near the rim. The obverse shows even circulation wear and a few dark spots on the cheek and neck. Please look at all the photos, which are the best description.
Composition: bronze (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc)
Mintage: 85,094,493
Condition: ungraded, raw coin. The grade is our opinion only.
The coin ships in a protective holder.
