The 1864 Indian Head Cent (Copper-Nickel) graded MS62 by PCGS is a notable coin from the Civil War era. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, it features an 88% copper and 12% nickel composition, giving it a distinctive pale golden hue compared to later bronze issues.

In 1864, the U.S. Mint transitioned from copper-nickel to bronze for the Indian Head cent. Approximately 13.7 million copper-nickel cents were produced before the switch, making this version relatively scarce. Its limited mintage and historical significance contribute to its desirability among collectors.
