Add a vintage 1899 Indian Head penny to your collection! Designed by James B. Longacre, Indian Head cents are widely considered the most beautiful bronze U.S. coins. The 1899 penny's obverse depicts Liberty in a Native American headdress. The reverse of the coin features an oak wreath and shield.


In 1899, George Washington's image first appeared on a U.S. coin and William McKinley became the first U.S. president to ride in an automobile – a Stanley Steamer. Writer Ernest Hemingway and gangster Al Capone were also born that year. Recall these historic events and more with this classic 1899 Indian penny!
