1864 Indian Head Cent Extra Fine to Almost Uncirculated Condition

The "1864" indicates the year of minting. Indian Head Cents were produced at multiple mint facilities, but the absence of a mint mark suggests that this coin was minted in Philadelphia, as the mint did not mark its coins until 1908. The obverse (front) of the coin features a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty adorned with a Native American headdress, surrounded by the inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." The reverse (back) displays a laurel wreath encircling the denomination "ONE CENT" and the shield of the United States.
