1905 One Cent PR RD Values

Details

The mintage for the 1905 Indian Cent is 2,152 coins struck. Brown pieces are common along with red-brown; only the finest gems are scarce. Full red gems are scarce as well with the finest ones being very rare. Any grade with a cameo is, at the very least, scarce with high Mint State grades being rare. Attractively toned brown pieces or blazing red surfaces are highly sought after and not too hard to find.

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.
