1864 Indian Head Cent – L on Ribbon. The 1864 "L" variety is one of the most popular issues in the Indian Head Cent series, identified by the small "L" for designer James B. Longacre on the ribbon behind Liberty's neck. Introduced midway through 1864, this design modification coincided with the transition to the bronze composition, replacing the earlier copper-nickel alloy. Featuring Liberty wearing a Native American headdress, this historic cent is an essential addition for collectors of Indian Head Cents and 19th-century U.S. coinage.
