Offered is an 1875 Indian Head Cent in Good (G) condition. This classic 19th-century U.S. coin features Liberty wearing a Native American-style headdress on the obverse and the denomination surrounded by an oak and laurel wreath on the reverse. Please review the photos for the exact condition, remaining detail, and surfaces. The Indian Head Cent was designed by James B. Longacre and was produced from 1859 through 1909. The 1875 issue was struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a mintage of 13,528,000 coins. While not a major key date, the 1875 is considered one of the scarcer issues of the Indian Head Cent series, particularly in higher grades. The coin was struck in the traditional 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc bronze composition, weighs approximately 3.11 grams, and has a plain edge.
