The Type 2 Indian Cents last from 1860 through 1864 and are made from a copper-nickel composite. High mintage issues were struck during the Civil War making them common but very desirable in high-end gem condition. Just the reverse is different for this type as the obverse remains the same throughout the series.
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 bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon with arrows tied in at the bottom center.
