Description
1904 Indian Head Cent in Good Collectible Condition, See Photos. The 1904 Indian Head Cent is a well-regarded piece of American numismatic history, minted during a time of industrial growth and national transformation. Designed by James B. Longacre, the coin features Liberty in a Native American headdress on the obverse and a laurel wreath surrounding the denomination on the reverse. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1904 issue saw a mintage of over 61 million, making it relatively common among the series. Composed primarily of copper, this cent has aged with a variety of rich patinas, especially prized in higher grades with original red or red-brown coloring. As part of the beloved Indian Head Cent series (1859–1909), the 1904 coin remains a popular entry point for collectors and a nostalgic artifact reflecting the spirit of turn-of-the-century America.
