The obverse dies were changed in 1886 making 2 separate varieties that are differentiated by the placement of 'America.' These two varieties are worth about the same; but, it is common knowledge that Variety 2 is slightly more scarce. All the color designations increase gradually from brown to red with all gems being very scarce. Cameo examples are quite rare. Look for attractively toned brown pieces or blazing red surfaces as those are the most coveted and are not too hard to find.
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.
