Indian Head pennies were minted from 1859 to 1909 and designed by James B. Longacre. Featuring Liberty in a Native American headdress, they’re highly collectible. Key dates like 1877 and 1909-S are especially valuable. Composition changed in 1864 from copper-nickel to bronze. Values vary by date and condition.
