The 1879 Indian Head Cent is a classic small cent from one of the most beloved U.S. coin series. Struck in Philadelphia with a mintage of 16,228,000, this issue is plentiful in circulated grades but highly sought after in top Mint State condition with full red color.

This coin is graded PCGS MS64 RD and is housed in the coveted Old Green Holder (OGH), a certification style favored by collectors for its vintage appeal and conservative grading standards. With vibrant red luster, sharp detail, and strong eye appeal, this example represents an excellent balance of rarity and quality.

Designed by James B. Longacre, the Indian Head Cent features Liberty in a Native American headdress on the obverse and a laurel wreath reverse. Its timeless design and historical context make it a cornerstone in 19th-century American coinage.

With only 81 coins graded MS64 RD by PCGS and an estimated 5 or fewer surviving in OGH holders, this coin is a true rarity for advanced collectors. The combination of condition, red designation, and collectible holder status makes it an elite example of the 1879 issue.
