The 1875 is an average date (mintage and value) amongst this rare and important decade in the Indian Cent Series. Very common with brown color even in Mint State. Finer red-brown gems are scarce and all full red gems are very 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.
