The 1908-S is a highly collectible key date, known for being one of only two Indian Head cents minted at the San Francisco Mint and one of the most sought-after coins in the series. This particular example is noted as "cleaned" but retains excellent detail and historical appeal.Key Date and Rarity: The 1908-S Indian Head Cent holds a special place in U.S. numismatic history as the first Indian Head cent struck at the San Francisco Mint, with only 1,115,000 minted. It remains one of the lowest-mintage coins in the series, making it highly desirable for collectors aiming to complete a full Indian Head set. This coin's San Francisco origin further enhances its appeal, as the "S" mintmark is particularly rare within the series.Historical Significance: The Indian Head Cent, designed by James B. Longacre, was minted from 1859 to 1909 and symbolizes the evolving identity of the United States during the late 19th century. The 1908-S, struck at the iconic San Francisco Mint, represents the expansion of minting operations to the West Coast. This cent is part of the coinage that marked America’s westward development and encapsulates the pioneering spirit of the era.Condition and Grading:Grade: PCGS Genuine VF Detail (Very Fine Detail)Certification Number: 50716401Details: Though cleaned, this coin retains clear, visible details with considerable eye appeal. Typical of the VF grade, the design shows noticeable detail, including Liberty's headband with the word “LIBERTY” and partial feather lines. The reverse maintains strong wreath details, making it a visually attractive piece despite signs of circulation wear.Design:Obverse: The obverse displays Liberty wearing a feathered headdress with “LIBERTY” inscribed on the band. This classic design symbolizes a blend of American ideals and pays homage to the nation's heritage.Reverse: The reverse features a laurel wreath encircling “ONE CENT,” crowned by a simple shield, emphasizing strength and unity.Composition:Metal Content: 95% CopperDiameter: 19 mmWeight: 3.11 gramsCollector Appeal: The 1908-S Indian Head Cent is essential for any comprehensive Indian Head collection due to its low mintage, rarity, and status as one of only two Indian Head cents produced in San Francisco.

It appeals to collectors and investors interested in the American West’s historical coinage and the broader story of U.S. minting practices. ShippingThis item ships free and insured.
