The 1898 Indian Cent is a common issue in the Indian Cent Series that would make a great type coin. Circulated coins are extremely common and accessible. Uncirculated coins must have some, if not total, red coloring to be scarce and valuable. The finest gems can be rare.
Obverse Description
A portrait bearing the likeness of a Native American in full headdress framed by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. The date is centered at the bottom under the portrait.
Reverse Description
The reverse bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon with arrows tied in at the bottom center.
