1909-P Indian Head Cent VG–F

Last-Year 1909 Indian Head Cent

Collectors of the long-running Lincoln Cent know that the very first coin was issued in 1909. What they may not know is that it wasn’t the only cent issued that year: 1909 was also the final year of the classic “Indian Head” Cent.

The Indian Head Cent got its nickname thanks to its design that shows Lady Liberty wearing a Native American headdress. The coin also features Miss Liberty with a beaded necklace and a hair band emblazoned with a diamond. The reverse tells the tale of this beloved coin’s Civil War heritage: the Union Shield is at the top of a wreath of oak leaves

Now you can relive that thrill from our youth with this key-date Indian Cent struck during the series’ final year of issue!
