The Indian Head Penny was minted from 1859 through 1909. The ""Indian Head"" design first issued in 1859 is autually a representation of Liberty wearing an Indian headress, not an autual Native American.The first year features a laural wreath on the reverse. This was changed after one year to the oak wreath with a small shield.
Designed by James B Longacre; weight4.67 grams composition .880 copper .120nickel diameter 19mm. Indian Head pennies don’t actually feature a Native American at all. In fact, the figure on the obverse of the coin represents Miss Liberty, and Longacre’s daughter, Sarah, was the model for the bust.
The 1904 Indian Head Penny is a significant piece of American numismatic history and highly prized, being the last year of production for this series of coins.
