Introduced shortly before the War between the States in 1859, they were struck by the U.S. Mint until 1909. Designed by James Longacre, these historic cents were the nation's first coinage tribute to the noble, proud American Indian. His Longacre design also represented the first time that official United States Mint coins featured a distinctly American motif.YearMintageGVGFVFXFAUUNCFrequency1864 1.5%With "L" on ribbon1864 350.3%with "L" on ribbon; Proof1864 39,233,714 4.8%without "L"1864 1500.2%without "L" ; Proof1865 35,429,286 6%overdate variety reported1865 5000.2%Proof1866 9,826,5002.2%1866 7250.1%Proof1867 9,821,000 1.8%1867 6250.1%Proof1868 10,266,500 2.4%1868 6000.1%Proof1869 6,420,0001.5%1869 0.3%overdate variety exists1869 6000.1%Proof1870 0.4%bold "N"1870 5,275,0001.3%shallow "N";1870 1,0000.1%shallow "N"; Proof1871 0.6%bold "N"1871 3,929,5001.1%shallow "N"1871 9600.1%shallow "N"; Proof1872 0.4%bold "N"1872 4,042,0001%shallow "N";1872 9500.1%shallow "N"; Proof1873 11,676,5002.5%closed "3"1873 1,1000.1%closed "3"; Proof1873 0.1%doubled "LIBERTY"1873 0.6%open "3"1874 14,187,500 3.2%1874 7000.1%Proof1875 13,528,000 3.5%1875 7000.1%Proof1876 7,944,000 2.2%1876 1,1500.1%Proof1877 852,5000.7%(fr) Excessivement rare1877 9000.1%Proof1878 5,797,500 2%1878 2,3500.1%Proof1879 16,228,000 4.7%1879 3,2000.1%Proof1880 38,961,000 8.6%1880 3,9550.2%Proof1881 39,208,000 9.8%1881 3,5750.2%Proof1882 38,578,000 9.4%1882 3,1000.1%Proof1883 45,591,500 11%1883 6,6090.2%Proof1884 23,257,800 6.9%1884 3,9420.2%Proof1885 11,761,594 5.3%1885 3,7900.1%Proof1886 17,650,000 4.7%Type A;1886 4,2900.1%Type A; Proof1886 2.1%Type B1886 0.1%Type B; Proof1887 45,223,523 12%1887 2,9600.1%Proof1888 37,489,832 12%1888 0.1%Overdate variety reported1888 4,5820.1%Proof1889 48,866,025 14%1889 3,3360.2%Proof1890 57,180,114 15%1890 2,7400.3%Proof1891 47,070,000 14%1891 2,3500.2%Proof1892 37,647,087 12%1892 2,7450.3%Proof1893 46,640,000 14%1893 2,1950.2%Proof1894 16,749,500 7.1%1894 0.2%double date variety1894 2,6320.1%Proof1895 38,341,574 13%1895 2,0620.2%Proof1896 39,055,431 14%1896 1,8620.2%Proof1897 50,464,392 17%1897 1,9380.2%Proof1898 49,821,284 16%1898 1,7950.3%Proof1899 53,598,000 18%1899 2,0310.3%Proof1900 66,831,502 21%1900 2,2620.3%Proof1901 79,609,158 23%1901 1,9850.3%Proof1902 87,374,704 25%1902 2,0180.3%Proof1903 85,092,703 26%1903 1,7900.3%Proof1904 61,326,198 21%1904 1,8170.2%Proof1905 80,717,011 25%1905 2,1520.3%Proof1906 96,020,530 29%1906 1,7250.5%Proof1907 108,137,143 31%1907 1,4750.3%Proof1908 32,326,367 16%1908 1,6200.3%Proof1908 S1,115,000 1.7%1909 14,368,470 9.6%1909 2,1750.2%Proof1909 S309,0000.7%(fr) Très rare
