1864-L Indian Head Penny Bronze - Low Grade / Filler Coin - 1864 L Cent - Bronze Variety L
This listing is for one 1864 L Indian Head Penny, as pictured. How do you know this is an "L"? If the coin is too worn to see the L, there is another way to verify that an "L" is an "L". On the L variety bronze 1864 Indian Head cent, there will be a clearly pointed bust as opposed to a rounded bust seen on the non-L variety. As can be seen in the photos, this coin has the pointed bust which only exists on the L variety.
The Indian Head cent, also known as an Indian Head penny, was a one-cent coin ($0.01) 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.
The centenary of the birth of assassinated president Abraham Lincoln would occur in February 1909, and large numbers of privately manufactured souvenirs were already being issued. Many citizens had written to the Treasury Department, proposing a Lincoln coin.
For a collector, this is an excellent addition for US cents or coins in general.
