Struck during one of the most significant periods in U.S. history, this coin circulated while the nation was deeply divided by the Civil War. Designed by James B. Longacre, the Indian Head Cent features Liberty wearing a Native American headdress on the obverse and an oak wreath with shield on the reverse.
The 1863 issue was struck in the copper-nickel composition used on early Indian Head Cents and remains a popular collectible due to its historical significance and connection to the Civil War era. These coins served as everyday currency during a pivotal chapter in America's story.
This example is graded Good Details, meaning it displays the amount of wear typically associated with a Good (G) coin but has a condition issue that prevents it from receiving a straight numerical grade.
