Want the Rare 1909-S Indian Head Cent in NGC VF30?

This Indian Head Cent was the second coin of its kind to be struck by a United States 'Branch' Mint -- and it is one of the rarest ever made in the entire series!

Before they struck the Indian Head Cent in 1908, the Branch Mints (located in San Francisco, Denver, and West Point) had only ever struck coins from precious metals -- primarily gold and silver.

That changed in 1908 with the creation of the San Francisco Mint’s Indian Head Cent -- a piece that has gone on to become one of the most sought-after cents in U.S. history.

While it is not the 1st Indian Head Cent struck at the San Francisco Mint, the 2nd year of issue coin from 1909 is by far the more sought-after collector's coin.

This is because the 1909-S Indian Head Cent is significantly rarer than the 1908-S version -- over 3 1/2 times rarer to be exact!

1908-S Mintage: 1,115,000 vs. 1909-S Mintage: 309,000

And they are even rarer today in NGC F30 or better condition:
