1903 One Cent MS RB Values

Details

The 1903 Indian Cent is a common issue in the Indian Cent Series that would make an incredible type coin because of its high mintage, accessibility and affordability. Circulated coins are extremely common and accessible. In order for uncirculated coins to be scarce and valuable there must be some, if not total, red coloring and in gem condition.

Obverse: A portrait bearing the likeness of a Native American in full headdress framed by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. The date is centered at the bottom under the portrait.

Reverse: The reverse bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon with arrows tied in at the bottom center.
