This 1863 Indian Head Cent is a genuine piece of Civil War history. Struck during one of the most pivotal years of the conflict, these "White Cents" were highly valued by the public for their high nickel content during a time when metal hoarding was common. The 1863 issue is a quintessential representative of the wartime economy, featuring James B. Longacre's classic design that would go on to become one of the most recognizable faces in American coinage.
