Description: Here’s a PCGS guaranteed authentic 1870-(P) Indian Head Cent with fine details. This rare 1870 cent is brown in color. There’s green oxidation (barely visible) on the reverse. The green oxidation is noted as ‘environmental damage’ on the slab’s PCGS blue label. This Indian Head Penny was minted in 1870 which is a low mintage year, and is made of bronze. In mid 1864, the composition of the Indian Head Cent was changed from copper-nickel to bronze, and the thickness of the coin was substantially reduced. The compositional and weight changes to the Indian Head Cent were due to Civil War Tokens entering the market in 1861. The Civil War Tokens had mimicked the Indian Head Cent but were actually light weight copper pieces that contained advertisements or had patriotic themes. Civil War Tokens were privately issued but circulated widely and proved that a coin didn’t have to contain its full value in metal. *Shipping* Your 1870-(P) Indian Head Cent will be shipped USPS Priority 2-Day w/tracking number and insurance. This 1870 Indian Head Cent will be packed and shipped in a sturdy container so as to avoid any potential damage in transit.
