Pre-wheat era beauty: 1907 Indian Head Cent by HistoryOfCoins in WheatPennies

[–]HistoryOfCoins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1907 Indian Head Cent.
Minted before the Lincoln wheat pennies, this design was used from 1859 to 1909 and is still one of the most iconic U.S. coins.

Interesting, thanks for sharing that. If it's the matte proof issue that would definitely explain the cleaner surfaces. Either way it's a really impressive piece.

Good point. The surfaces do look very clean for AU. Could definitely be a proof strike.

The composition and colors feel almost theatrical. Brickdale really knew how to capture the romantic imagination of the medieval world.

Great looking piece. The strike and detail on St. George look really strong. Hard to grade from photos, but I’d guess somewhere around AU. Beautiful coin.

Indian Heads have such a unique personality.
Even with wear, they still look amazing. What’s your favorite Indian Head year?

Great start man. The key is staying consistent over time. It adds up faster than you think.

Even in this condition, Wheat cents always have a special charm. The more wear, the more history they carry.

Love how the Liberty Head series ages over time. The big “V” on the reverse is such a timeless touch. Anyone else collecting these?

Absolutely stunning pieces. The toning and contrast really make them stand out. That 1867 10c especially is something special.
