INDIAN HEAD PENNY ROLL OLD WHEAT CENTS VINTAGE COIN COLLECTION LINCOLN CENT SALE. 1859 Indian Head Penny Cent. Ron Guth: Indian Head Cents replaced the Flying Eagle Cent in 1859. The obverse depiction of a putative American Indian is actually a head of Liberty with an Indian chief’s headdress. In 1860, the wreath was altered and a small shield was added to the top of the reverse. From 1859-1864, the cents were made of a mixture of copper-nickel. In the case of locating an 1867 Indian Head penny, you best bet will be to check with your local coin dealer or with an online auction site such as eBay. 9,821,000 Indian Head pennies were made in 1867, and these typically cost around $52 for a Good-4 specimen. 625 proof versions were also made, and these are worth $6,100.
The front (obverse) of the coin contains the head of Lady Liberty wearing a chieftains headdress sometimes referred to as a war bonnet.
The rear (reverse) cointains a wreath and the words one cent as well as a shield on the top middle. The original 1959 release did not include the shield, but all other years do.
The face value of this coin is 1 cent. The chemical composition is 88% copper and 12% nickel from the years 1859-1864. The composition changes in 1965 95% copper, 5% tin (sometimes zinc was used in place of copper).
The coins are popular with those Native American heritage, and while just 2 million individuals are enrolled as members of a tribe, most people in the US today claim to be at least part Native American.
I remember fondly collecting the Indian Head Pennies and the Buffalo Nickels with my Grandmother who was 50% Cherokee. So on a personal note I love these coins, if for nothing else than their sentimental value.
As with most coins of this age the Indian Head Cent is worth many times more than it’s face value indicates. Prices are well above the $10 mark for all of these coins (even in less than mint state) up until about 1879 at which time the minimum is still $1 to $3 on average. Point being.if you find one don’t spend it at face value.

1867 Indian Head cents are about as scarce as the 1866 Indian Head cents, and are somewhat challenging to find in decent condition. As many of the earlier Indian Head pennies are found in corroded, damaged states, any piece that seems clear of such imperfections would make a great buy.

9,821,000 Indian Head pennies were made in 1867, and these typically cost around $52 for a Good-4 specimen. 625 proof versions were also made, and these are worth $6,100. Another variety that some collectors will look for is the 1867/67 overdate, which is not severely more uncommon than the regular strike. The overdate sells for $65 in Good-4. Between the business-strike and proof varieties, most Indian Head penny collectors will opt for the regular issue to include in their coin collections, given the expense of the proof variety.
Indian Head pennies were designed by James B. Longacre, who served as Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 1844 through 1869. Along with the 1867 Indian Head penny, he also designed the two-cent coin, which is most famous for becoming the first U.S. coin to bear the words IN GOD WE TRUST in 1864. Many people believe he placed an actual Native American on the one-cent coin, but the lady on the coin is none other than Miss Liberty, who in this case was modeled by Longacre’s daughter, Sarah.Other Years From This Coin SeriesLatest Blog PostsLatest Blog Posts
