1906 Indian Head cents are very common coins that are available in all circulated and most uncirculated grades. While rarely, if ever, found in circulation, 1906 pennies are usually encountered in mixed-date rolls and bags of old copper pennies, and are commonly found at most coin shops that handle 19th- and 20th-century U.S. coinage. Many coin collectors buy 1906 pennies for type sets as well as to complete series collections of Indian Head cents, and they’re inexpensive enough for non-numismatists to buy as a classic American momento of the early 20th century.
1906 Indian Head cents are widely available, as 96,020,530 business strikes were made, and a huge share of that original output is still in existence. Meanwhile, 1,725 proof were also made.

The designer of the Indian Head penny, James B. Longacre, served as Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 1844 until his death in 1869. Interestingly, 1906 pennies don’t actually feature an “Indian” on the obverse at all. Rather, it’s a depiction of Miss Liberty, as modeled by Longacre’s 12-year-old daughter, Sarah. As numismatists understand, she was donned by a traditional tribal headdress by a jovial Native American. The elder Longacre captured the scene as a sketch and later used the drawing as the basis for his design.Indian Head Pennies Values ChartOther Years From This Coin SeriesLatest Blog PostsLatest Blog Posts
The Indian Head Cent was struck in two metal compositions. From 1859 to mid 1864, the cent was struck in a metal composition consisting of 88% copper and 12% nickel, weighing 4.67 grams, or 72 grains. This metal proved to be too hard to strike, and in 1864 the composition was changed to a bronze alloy. This consisted of 95% copper and 5% zinc and tin. The bronze cents weigh 3.11 grams, or 48 grains.
