This particular coin represents the "Type 2" variety of the iconic Indian Head Cent series, which was struck from 1864 until its discontinuation in 1909. Characterized by its bronze composition (95% copper, 5% tin/zinc), the Type 2 design succeeded the earlier, less common copper-nickel Type 1 cents, making this a widely recognized and cherished piece of American coinage history.

The 1886 Indian Head Cent holds historical significance, reflecting the post-Civil War era and the nation's industrial expansion.

With a mintage of 17,650,000 pieces, it remains a popular target for collectors. Despite its age, this F-VF example retains many of its original details, with the headdress feathers, Liberty's profile, and the date still discernible, offering a tangible connection to 19th-century America. Its condition makes it an excellent choice for a collector looking to fill a slot in an album or to acquire a piece of classic U.S. numismatics at an accessible price point.
