First year of issue for the Indian Cent Series, which was produced from a composite of copper and nickel. Very popular one-year type coin as a shield was added to the reverse in the following year. Extremely common except for the gem grades that are scarce. The 1859 normally comes with a strong strike and some nice color and luster.
Obverse Description
A portrait bearing the likeness of a Native American in full headdress framed by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. The date is centered at the bottom under the portrait.
Reverse Description
The reverse features the denomination ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath with a ribbon at the very bottom center.
