1893 Indian Head Cent Extremely Fine to Almost Uncirculated Condition

The 1893 Indian Head Cent in Extra Fine to About Uncirculated (XF/AU) condition showcases sharp detail and minimal wear, offering collectors an attractive late-date example from this classic U.S. copper series. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint with no mint mark, this coin is composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. The obverse features Liberty in a feathered headdress with “LIBERTY” clearly visible on the band and well-defined facial features, while the reverse presents a bold wreath and shield framing the denomination “ONE CENT.”

1893 Indian Head Cent XF/AU Condition

In XF/AU grades, light wear is confined to the high points of the design, with much of the original detail and some remaining mint luster present. With a mintage of just over 46 million, the 1893 issue is relatively accessible, but premium mid- to high-grade examples like this appeal to collectors who appreciate eye appeal and originality. This piece makes an excellent choice for filling a late 19th-century slot in an Indian Head cent set with strong visual presence.
