Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
A 1906 United States Indian Head Cent, graded AU 58 by PCGS with certificate number 29321850. This copper cent features the profile of Liberty wearing a Native American headdress on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. Its standard weight is 3.11 grams and it falls under the Krause number 117.
History
The Indian Head cent, designed by James B. Longacre, was minted from 1859 to 1909. The design depicts Liberty, a common allegorical figure in U.S. coinage. The year 1906 falls within the later period of this series, before the Lincoln cent was introduced. These coins were a staple of everyday commerce.
Facts
The 'Indian' headdress was a popular motif, though Liberty herself is depicted, not an actual Native American. The coin's substantial copper composition contributed to its durability. While not the rarest date, the 1906 is a common year for collectors and represents the end of an era before the iconic Lincoln cent.
Value Fact
AU 58 graded 1906 Indian Head Cents typically command prices in the range of $5 to $15, depending on market conditions and specific eye appeal. Demand is steady from collectors seeking to complete their Indian Head cent sets or acquire examples from the early 1900s.
