1900 19/19 One Cent MS RD S-8 Values
Details
This century mark Indian Cent is a common date in the Indian Cent Series that would make a great type coin as it has a higher mintage than any previous issue. 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. The finest gems can be rare.
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.
