Description: This extremely rare 1887 Indian Head Penny will be a nice addition to one's coin collection or history collection. With regard to history, despite the name of these coins are name Indian Heads, the obverse (front) of this coin features a Caucasian Lady Liberty donning a Native American Headpiece that is worn traditionally by Native American men of certain status. The use of a Native American liberty design is ironic since the coin was created during early 1800's when Native Americans lost their ancestral lands and were forced onto reservations. This coin is an ideal addition to any person's coin collection. Finally, as an added historical note, the truth is that the designer or the coin, James Longacre,modeled the features of Liberty after a statue of "Crouching Venus", a statue in Philadelphia that was on loan from the Vatican. Hopefully, you enjoyed the history of the Indian Head penny. Thank you for your interest in this coin.
