1863 Indian Head Cent (FN15) "Cleaned" PCI

The 1863 Indian Head Cent, graded FN15 by PCI with a "Cleaned" designation, is a Civil War-era issue struck in a copper-nickel alloy, giving it a slightly thicker and lighter appearance than later cents. In Fine 15 condition, it shows moderate wear with clear detail in Liberty’s headdress and facial features, though signs of cleaning—such as unnatural brightness or hairlines—affect its surface originality. Despite the cleaning, its historical context and mid-grade detail make it an interesting and collectible example from a pivotal year in American history.
