Two Centuries of Indian Head Pennies

This collection features two classic United States Indian Head Pennies – one from the 19th century that is now over 120 years old, and one from the 20th century that is at least 110 years old. The Indian Head Penny is one of the most cherished of all United States coins, but it is now long out of issue and is a treasured addition to any collection.
The Indian Head Penny was minted from 1859-1909. It depicts an Indian princess in a war bonnet and was one of the first U.S. coins to feature a Native American. According to legend, designer James B. Longacre actually used a portrait of his daughter, Sarah, wearing an Indian headdress. It is a symbol of America’s westward expansion, as well as a moving tribute to Native Americans in U.S. history.
The first Indian Head Penny in this collection is guaranteed to date between 1859 and 1899. It is therefore over 120 years old. The second coin was minted between 1900 and 1909 (when it was replaced with the Lincoln Penny), so it is at least 110 years old.
The coins are accompanied by a U.S. postage stamp issued in 1978. The stamp is in original mint condition and features the obverse of the Indian Head Penny. The stamp is now over 40 years old and has been unavailable from post offices since 1978.
All Indian Head Pennies are sought-after by today’s collectors because of their age, beauty, and scarcity. These coins have not been seen in circulation for over a century, and it is very unusual to find a collection like this that includes a coin from both the 19th and 20th centuries.
Both coins are carefully hand-selected for exceptional collector quality and are displayed in a custom presentation with a Certificate of Authenticity.
