A fascinating piece of American numismatic history — the 1860 Indian Head Cent, authenticated and designated Genuine by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) and housed in a Trader Bea slab.

The 1860 Indian Head Cent is a transitional issue of great significance, representing the first year the design featured a rounded bust on the obverse, replacing the earlier pointed bust variety. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the eve of the Civil War, this coin carries over 160 years of American history. The NGC Genuine designation confirms the coin's authenticity while noting it has been cleaned, repaired, or otherwise altered at some point in its long life — a common characteristic of coins from this era.
