Offered here is a 1905 Indian Head cent from the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark), struck in bronze late in the Indian cent series, which ended in 1909.
Grade: Extremely Fine (XF). LIBERTY on the headband is complete and readable. The headdress feathers are separate with inner feather detail on nearly all of them, the ribbon stands apart from the hair, 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 headband, the feather tips and the high points of the wreath leaves.
Condition, please read: even medium brown. There are small dark spots scattered in the obverse fields, including in front of the face and beside the 1 of the date, and a few on the reverse in and around the letters of CENT and the wreath. There is a small green spot at the reverse rim just above the shield. No rim damage was seen. Please look at all the photos, which are the best description.
