About this product

Product Information

<h2>David Hall</h2><P>The 1859 is the first year of issue for the very important Indian Head cent series. Because a shield was added to the reverse in1860, the 1859 is also a one-year-only type coin. I have always felt this issue doesn't get the respect it deserves. Gems are definitely rare. In 1973, I had a customer tell me to buy him every Gem Flying Eagle cent and 1859 Indian cent I could find. In a year, I was able to find 35 Gem Flying Eagles, but only 8 Gem 1859 Indian cents. </P><P>Most 1859 Indians are relatively well struck. Luster and color are typical for the 1859-1864 Copper-nickel composition Indian Head cents. There are many examples with subdued luster you could call mediocre. I have seen very few examples with what we would all call "blazing" luster, certainly less than I have seen of some of the other Copper-nickel dates.</P><h2>Jaime Hernandez</h2><p>This is a one year Type and also the first regular issue Indian Head and Wreath design.&nbsp;The fact that this was a&nbsp;first year design and it having a large mintage, many examples were saved and examples of this issue in circulated grades&nbsp;are easily obtainable.</p>

    My Daughter collects "Money" so I always try to get something for her that of course she doesn't have! The coin arrived quickly and was in great shape . My daughter was thrilled She had been looking for a 1900 but kept being out bid -- Very Happy with my Purchase !!

    Important key coin for a collector of U.S. coins.

    This first-year Indian Head cent with its one-year-only reverse is a essential part of a United States type set. Purchased in EF or better condition, it will be an attractive component to such a set or to begin a complete set of all dates/mint marks of Indian head cents.
