Struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the Gilded Age—the same year as the historic Chicago World's Fair—this 1893 Indian Head Cent is a standout example of James B. Longacre’s iconic bronze design.

Unlike earlier Civil War-era copper-nickel cents, this piece is struck in the traditional, lighter bronze composition (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc) that defined late 19th-century American small change. Grade Fine is always a major milestone for Indian Head cents because it marks the boundary where all four letters of LIBERTY become clearly legible across the headband. For collectors assembling a quality, problem-free album set, this cent delivers fantastic historical appeal and bold design details.
