1908 Indian Head Penny
Posted on by admin
Bronze Composite Penny
Minted at: Philadelphia (No Mint Mark)
The Indian Head cent, also known as an Indian Head penny, was a one-cent coin ($0.01) produced by the United States Bureau of the Mint from 1859 to 1909. It was designed by James Barton Longacre, the Chief Engraver at the Philadelphia Mint. From 1793 to 1857, the cent was a copper coin about the size of a half dollar. San Francisco (“S” mint) struck pennies for the very first time, and these 1908-S Indian Head pennies are decidedly much scarcer than their Philadelphia counterparts. 1908 pennies (those from the City of Brotherly Love, that is), are quite common and are readily found in most bags and rolls of mixed-date Indian Head cents.
