Title:
Indian Head Cent
Description:
Coin shown in a white 2x2 cardboard/staple holder. Obverse visible: a left-facing Liberty head wearing a Native American-style feathered headdress (Indian Head cent design). Around the rim appears the legend ”UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” with the date ”1864” at the bottom. Coin is dark brown/coppery with heavy circulation wear; fine details in hair/headdress and lettering are weak but readable. No packaging product code/barcode is visible in the provided image.
This matches a U.S. Indian Head cent dated 1864 (Philadelphia issue; cents of this era do not carry mintmarks). 1864 is a transition year with two main compositions (copper-nickel and bronze); composition cannot be confirmed from this single photo without weight/thickness or a clear color comparison.
