The1909-S Indian Head Cent in XF40 Brown (BN) condition, graded by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), represents a coin from the last year of issue for this iconic series. One of two key dates in the series.


  • Design: This coin features the same James B. Longacre design that became iconic in U.S. numismatics: Lady Liberty with a Native American headdress on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse.
  • Condition (XF40 BN):
    • XF40 (Extremely Fine): This grade indicates that the coin has seen circulation but remains in good condition. At XF40, it will show light to moderate wear, mainly on the high points like Liberty's cheek and hair, with some mint luster still present in the protected areas. The coin's details are mostly sharp, but there's clear evidence of circulation.
    • BN (Brown): The brown patina suggests the coin has oxidized over time, which is typical for copper coins. This toning doesn't impact the grade but might affect the coin's appeal or value slightly compared to red or red-brown examples.
  • Rarity: The 1909-S Indian Head Cent is significant not just because it's the final year of the series but also because it was minted in San Francisco, which has much lower mintage figures.
