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: Extremely Fine (XF). LIBERTY on the headband is complete and readable. The headdress feathers are sharp and separate, with inner feather lines on nearly all of them and only the tips softened, and the diamonds on the ribbon and the hair curls behind the neck show detail. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the date are bold. On the reverse, ONE CENT is bold, the shield lines are sharp and the oak wreath, bow and arrows show good detail. Light, even wear shows on the cheek, the hair over the ear and the high points of the wreath leaves.
Condition, please read: even medium brown. There are several small nicks and bumps on the obverse rim, most noticeably at about 9 o'clock beside the U of UNITED and at about 4 o'clock beside the final A of AMERICA, with smaller ones on the upper left rim. A few light marks are in the fields. Please look at all the photos, which are the best description.
