1860 Indian Head Cent Very Fine VF Coin by James Barton Longacre

Product ID: 242050716

Description

This listing features a beautifully preserved 1860 Indian Head Cent, graded Very Fine (VF). This coin exhibits moderate wear consistent with circulation and boasts a dark, even patina across both surfaces. It's important to note the details in the headdress feathers are worn, and the word 'LIBERTY' on the headband is not visible, which is common for this grade. Despite this, the date, legends, and main design elements remain clear, making it a desirable addition for any numismatic collection. The 1860 date is particularly significant as it's the second year of issue and showcases the first design with the oak wreath and shield reverse, crafted from a copper-nickel alloy characteristic of 'fatty' Indian cents minted between 1859 and 1864. The coin's dark, original patina adds to its charm and may appeal particularly to collectors interested in coins with historical significance. Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of American history! Inventory # 31
