1909 Indian Head Penny
4/1/2022
Bronze Composite Penny
Minted at: Philadelphia (No Mint Mark)
- The 1909-S Indian Head penny is the lowest-mintage circulation strike in the entire series of Indian pennies. It’s also one of the rarest and most valuable pennies! As one of two key Indian cents, the 1909-S penny is among the most sought-after collectible coins. So, how much are 1909 Indian Head pennies worth?
- I would like to see the full obverse of the coin, since one of the main characteristics I use in authenticating a 1909-S Indian is the first three feathertips, and we can't see them in your images. Here's a LINK that should help with authentication.
The 1909 S Indian Head Cent (Penny) Mintmark is located under the wreath on the reverse of the coin as depicted in the example image above. This is also the rarest Indian Head Cent year/mint produced in terms of the total mintage figure. The Indian Head Cent was a mainstay of U.S. Coinage until 1909, when it gave way to the Lincoln Cent. Since then, the Indian Head Cent has been extremely popular with coin collectors. There are just a few key dates that dominate the series. These are the Indian Head Cents that have received the most attention in the past, and are most likely to.
