Entry Details
PCGS Number: 92189 Coin Date: 1894/1894 Denomination (Short): 1c Denomination (Long): One Cent Desg: MS Composition: 95% copper; 5% zinc & tin Mintage: 16,749,500 Strike Type: Business Coinage Type: Indian Head Cent Coinage Years: 1864-1909 Mint Location: Philadelphia Diameter: 19 Weight (Grams): 3.11 Weight (Ounces): 0.11 Designer: James B. Longacre Edge: Plain 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. General Notes: The 1894/1894 doubled date is a popular variety in the Indian Cent Series. Minor doubling is seen on the one with small spots east of the eight; but, the most obvious component of this variety appears on the nine (clear second nine at the top right of the nine) and four (clearly struck second point above the four). Tough to locate in all grades with Mint State pieces being scarce and gems being extremely rare. The value increases at a very gradual pace as the color designation goes from brown to red.
