| The "Indian Head" cent first issued in 1859 is actually a representation of Liberty wearing an Indian headdress, not an actual indian. The first year featured a laurel wreath on the reverse. This was changed after one year to the oak wreath with a small shield. Coins of 1859 and 1860 show a pointed bust. Prior to the issuance of five-cent nickel pieces in 1866, these coins were commonly referred to as nickels or nicks. Later, they were called white cents. |
