1874 Indian Head Cent Good

Product Description

Mintage for this tough to find cent was just 14,187,500 -- later Indian Head penny issues had outputs of over 100 million. At the height of the Civil War, bronze pennies like this replaced the copper-nickel type because nickel was needed for armaments. The metal composition remained the standard for U.S. cents until 1982. Even though these coins are almost 150 years old, our Good quality retains basic designs and clear dates and inscriptions.
