1863 Indian Head Cent - F+
Add a fascinating piece of Civil War-era American coinage to your collection with this 1863 Indian Head Cent in Fine+ (F+) condition. Struck during the American Civil War, this historic penny offers a tangible connection to one of the nation's most significant periods. Composed of 88% copper and 12% nickel, it features the thicker copper-nickel composition used during the early years of the Indian Head Cent series.
Designed by James B. Longacre, the obverse features Liberty wearing a feathered headdress inscribed LIBERTY. The reverse displays ONE CENT surrounded by an oak wreath and Union shield, reflecting the classic design introduced in 1860.
In Fine+ (F+) condition, this coin exhibits moderate circulation wear while retaining clear design details, including portions of Liberty's feathers, hair, and headband. The F+ designation indicates slightly stronger detail than typically found at the standard Fine level.
Its Civil War-era significance, early copper-nickel composition, and attractive remaining detail make this 1863 Indian Head Cent an appealing addition to any Indian Head Penny collection or historic U.S. coin type set.
