Step into the dawn of a new era in American coinage with this 1859 Indian Head Cent, a historic first-year issue that marked the beginning of one of the most beloved series in U.S. numismatics. Certified AU53 by CAC, this coin not only retains strong details and original charm but also carries the highly sought-after CAC approval, signifying superior eye appeal and quality for the grade.

Designed by James Barton Longacre, the 1859 Indian Head Cent is a one-year type, featuring the classic laurel wreath reverse, which was replaced in 1860 with the oak wreath and shield design. Its obverse showcases the iconic Liberty in a Native American headdress, a bold artistic departure from previous U.S. coin designs and an enduring symbol of 19th-century American coinage.

Struck in copper-nickel, this piece has a distinctive pale golden hue and a sturdy composition, making it highly collectible among both Indian Head Cent enthusiasts and type set builders. With sharp details, light circulation wear, and CAC’s endorsement for superior quality, this first-year treasure is a must-have for those seeking a historically significant and visually appealing piece of early American coinage.
