The mintage for the 1901 Indian Cent is 1,985 coins struck. Brown pieces are common along with red-brown with the finest gems being scarce. Full red gems are also scarce with the finest ones being very rare. Any grade with a cameo is scarce, at a minimum, with high Mint State grades being rare. Look for attractively toned brown pieces or blazing red surfaces. They are the extremely desirable and not too hard to find.
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.
