      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: A semi-key date from a relatively lower mintage, of which many of them were melted down, making this a very scarce Indian Cent. The 1871 is a better date in circulated grades that becomes scarce in Mint State. It is notably rare in gem condition and very difficult to find with red color.
