Graded by PCGS as VF Detail, this coin has been authenticated, confirming its status as a genuine piece of American history. While noted as "cleaned," it still maintains strong detail and carries significant collectible value.Key Date and Rarity: The 1909-S Indian Head Cent is the final year of the Indian Head series, making it one of the most iconic coins in U.S. numismatics. With only 309,000 minted, the 1909-S holds the lowest mintage of the series, enhancing its rarity and desirability. This coin is often considered the "holy grail" for Indian Head collectors, as it represents a historical transition from the Indian Head design to the new Lincoln cent in the same year.Historical Significance: The Indian Head Cent, designed by James B. Longacre, was minted from 1859 to 1909. This particular coin from 1909, struck in San Francisco, marks the end of an era in American coinage. The 1909-S Indian Head Cent was produced during a time of significant change, as the nation shifted to the Lincoln design later that same year, commemorating the centennial of Lincoln's birth. This rare coin captures a moment when the U.S. Mint was honoring the past while ushering in a new chapter in coin design.Condition and Grading:Grade: PCGS VF Detail (Very Fine Detail)Certification Number: 50716400Details: This coin exhibits strong features typical of Very Fine grade. While it has been cleaned, it retains most of its original design detail, including visible feather lines and facial features on Liberty, as well as intricate leaf detail on the reverse. The "VF Detail" designation reflects the coin’s wear from circulation while retaining its eye appeal and historical significance.Design:Obverse: The obverse features a detailed profile of Liberty wearing a Native American-style headdress with “LIBERTY” on the band. This elegant design reflects Longacre's homage to the Native American heritage.Reverse: The reverse displays a wreath encircling the denomination "ONE CENT" and is crowned by a simple shield, symbolizing strength and unity.Composition:Metal Content: 95% CopperDiameter: 19 mmWeight: 3.11 gramsInvestment and Collectibility: As a key date with the lowest mintage of the series, the 1909-S Indian Head Cent remains highly desirable. Despite the cleaning, this piece is still valuable to collectors who seek to complete their Indian Head Cent sets. Its scarcity in the market and historical importance make it an exceptional investment in American numismatics, appealing to both dedicated collectors and investors alike.Summary: This 1909-S Indian Head Cent offers a chance to own a crucial piece of numismatic history, marking the end of one of America's most beloved coin designs. PCGS-certified with VF Detail, this rare coin is a valuable addition to any collection and a testament to the legacy of the Indian Head Cent series. ShippingThis item ships free and insured.
