For type sets, a coin collector usually needs just one example of an Indian Head cent to represent the series, whereas those who collect by date need one from each year for a complete set.ĭetermining how much it will cost to assemble a complete set of this small cent design, or figuring out how much one may be worth today, is a matter of perusing an Indian Head cent coin value guide. In general, coin collectors will accumulate collections of Indian Head pennies by either date and mintmark, or type. Designed by James Longacre and among the most recognizable coin series in the United States, Indian Head pennies are popular among coin collectors young and old, and widely sought after. Indian Head pennies were struck from 1859 to 1909 and were one of the longest-running coin series in the United States.
