This is a 1908 Indian Head Cent, a one-cent denomination coin issued by the United States Mint. The obverse features a profile of Liberty wearing a Native American feathered headdress, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" inscribed around the rim and the date "1908" below the portrait. The reverse displays a shield at top center with "ONE CENT" prominently displayed in the center, surrounded by an oak wreath with laurel branches tied at the bottom. The edge is plain. Indian Head Cents from this era were struck in bronze composition (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc). This is an iconic American collectible coin series that ran from 1859 to 1909.
