Indian Head Cents were minted from 1859 until they were replaced by the Lincoln Cent in 1909. Struck with 95% Copper, this lengthy series of pennies is always an exciting piece to add to your collection. This set includes two varieties of the 1865 Indian Head Cent. A variation in the striking of the 1865 Indian Head Cent led to two variations, the "Fancy 5" and the "Plain 5". The top of the "5" in "1865" is curvier on the Fancy version, and straighter on the Plain version. Interestingly, the Plain 5 variety is about twice as rare as the Fancy 5. With this set you can compare these varieties yourself and see the difference up close. Both coins in this pair will be in Good-Very Good (G-VG) condition and ship in a protective flip. Add this fun set of 150+ year old copper cents to your collection today!
