1907 Indian Head Penny 1C
Add a classic piece of American numismatic history to your collection with this 1907 Indian Head Penny. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this iconic U.S. cent is part of the beloved Indian Head series designed by Chief Engraver James B. Longacre, whose distinctive Liberty portrait remains one of the most recognizable designs in American coinage.
The obverse features Liberty wearing a Native American-style feathered headdress inscribed with “LIBERTY,” surrounded by thirteen stars representing the original colonies and the date below. The reverse showcases the denomination “ONE CENT” within an oak wreath topped by a Union shield, symbolizing national unity and strength. The absence of a mintmark identifies its production at the Philadelphia Mint, the primary coining facility of the era.
Composed of 95% copper with a small alloy of tin and zinc, the 1907 Indian Head Penny offers both historical significance and enduring collector appeal. As one of the final issues of the Indian Head cent series before its replacement by the Lincoln Cent in 1909, this coin is especially sought after by collectors assembling complete date sets and type collections.
Issued during a transformative period in American history, the 1907 Indian Head Penny reflects the artistry and craftsmanship of early 20th-century U.S. coinage. Its iconic design, historical importance, and lasting popularity make it an excellent addition to Indian Head cent collections, U.S. type sets, and vintage coin portfolios.
