Historical Significance
-
Struck during the mature years of the Indian Head Cent series (1859–1909), the 1904 issue saw a mintage of 61,326,894 coins.
-
While common in circulated grades, fully red mint-state survivors are much scarcer because copper tends to tone over time.
-
The design remains one of the most beloved in U.S. numismatics, bridging the era between the large cents of the early 19th century and the long-running Lincoln cent.
