- Indian_Head_cent abstract "The Indian Head cent, also known as an Indian Head penny, was produced by the United States Bureau of the Mint from 1859 to 1909. It was designed by James Barton Longacre, the Chief Engraver at the Philadelphia Mint.Pursuant to congressional authorization, the Mint in 1857 reduced the size of the cent, striking a new design, the Flying Eagle cent, first issued for circulation in 1857. These pieces were identical in diameter to modern cents, though somewhat thicker and made of copper-nickel. The design caused production difficulties, and the Mint soon looked to replace it. Mint Director James Ross Snowden selected the Indian Head design, He also chose a laurel wreath for the reverse that was replaced in 1860 by an oak wreath with a shield. As cents were hoarded during the economic chaos of the American Civil War, and Mint officials saw that privately issued bronze tokens circulated, they induced Congress to pass the Coinage Act of 1864, authorizing the change in metal.In the postwar period, the cent became very popular and was struck in large numbers in most years. An exception was 1877, where a poor economy and little demand for cents created one of the rarest dates in the series. With the advent of coin-operated machines in the late 19th and early 20th century, even more cents were produced, reaching 100,000,000 for the first time in 1907. In 1909, the Indian Head cent was replaced by the Lincoln cent, designed by Victor D. Brenner.".
