- 1859 Indian Cent. MS-66 (PCGS). An ideal coin to represent this popular design in a high grade type set, this Gem features light tan-gold color to virtually pristine surfaces. Fully struck with strong luster in a softly frosted texture. James Barton Longacre's Indian cent made its debut in 1859. The obverse portrait is not of a Native American but is a representation of Liberty wearing a feathered headdress. The reverse exhibits a simple olive wreath without a shield at its top, a design that was abandoned in 1860 in favor of the Oak Wreath with Shield design. The 1859 Indian cent, therefore, is a one year design type that is eagerly sought by collectors. Many 1859 Indian cents have survived in Mint State, but most are poorly defined due to the Mint's widespread use of worn dies in production of this issue. Well produced and expertly preserved, here is a pleasing and noteworthy condition rarity. PCGS# 2052. NGC ID: 227E. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
