Up for auction/sale is a scarce, highly collectable U.S. small cent from the Centennial year of American Independence—an authentic 1876 Indian Head Cent in Very Good (VG) condition!

Struck at the historic Philadelphia Mint in 1876, this coin comes from a low original mintage of just 7,944,000 pieces—making it significantly harder to find than the common-date Indian Head cents of the 1880s and 1890s. As a key year in U.S. history marking the American Centennial, the 1876 cent sees constant demand from series specialists and type collectors alike. Displaying honest, even circulation wear with clear design outlines, this specimen represents a fantastic, budget-friendly slot-filler for any serious U.S. copper collection.
