Indian Head Cents

Few series in American numismatics have captured the hearts of collectors like the Indian Head Cent. Struck from 1859 to 1909, these small copper coins carry a big story — spanning the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Gilded Age, all in a coin that fits in the palm of your hand.

At Bourbon Bullion & Coins, every Indian Head Cent is individually photographed so you can evaluate detail, luster, and eye appeal before you buy. We describe what we see, honestly.

• Copper-Nickel Issues (1859–1864) — the first five years of the Indian Head design, struck in a distinctive copper-nickel alloy. Scarcer than the later bronze issues.
• Bronze Issues (1864–1909) — the long-running bronze era with dozens of date and mintmark combinations for collectors at every level
• Key Dates — the 1877 and 1909-S are the two most sought-after Indian Head Cents, with strong long-term collector demand
• Better Dates & Varieties — semi-key dates and recognized varieties for collectors building complete sets
