Offered here is a sharp 1903 Indian Head cent from the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark), one of the late-date bronze Indian cents struck in the final years of the series before the Lincoln cent arrived in 1909.
Grade: XF (Extremely Fine). All seven letters of LIBERTY are readable on the headband. The feathers are crisp, with center lines and barbs on nearly every feather and wear only on the tips, and the ribbon stands apart from the hair. On the reverse the shield lines are sharp and unblended, and the oak wreath, bow and arrows show light, even wear with leaf detail intact. Bold date and legends, full rims with denticles all the way around.
Condition, please read: the coin has dark spotting and toning, heaviest in the obverse field around STATES and above the portrait, with darker toning in the reverse wreath. There are a few small nicks on the rim. Scattered light marks as expected for a circulated coin. Medium chocolate brown overall. Please look at all the photos, which are the best description.
Composition: bronze (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc)
Mintage: 85,092,703
Condition: ungraded, raw coin. The grade is our opinion only.
