Design and Specifications of the 1867 Cent
The 1867 Indian Head Cent was part of the Indian Head cent series, which was minted from 1859 to 1909. This coin was produced during a period of post-Civil War reconstruction in the United States. The Indian Head design, featuring Lady Liberty wearing a Native American headdress, was chosen to symbolize American liberty and the country's indigenous heritage.
1867 marked the eighth year of production for the Indian Head cent series, and these coins were widely used in everyday commerce during this time. The absence of mint marks on these coins indicates they were all produced at the Philadelphia Mint, which was the primary facility for coin production at that time.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of an 1867 Indian Head Cent significantly impacts its value and desirability among collectors. Coins in uncirculated condition (MS60 and above) are particularly valuable due to their scarcity. The quality of the strike is crucial, with well-struck examples commanding premium prices.
Original red copper luster is highly prized in uncirculated specimens, with fully red coins being the most valuable. However, many 1867 cents have developed attractive brown or red-brown toning over time, which can also be desirable if even and appealing.
Key areas to examine for wear include Liberty's hair details, the feathers in the headdress, and the letters in 'LIBERTY' on the obverse. On the reverse, check the leaves in the wreath and the shield details.

Rarity Scale: Scarce
Circulation Status: Moderate Circulation
Preservation Rarity: Rare in grades MS65 and above
Varieties Errors: None significant for this year
Market Demand: High, especially for well-preserved specimens
Rarity in high grades makes the 1867 Indian Head Cent valuable to collectors, especially in grades MS65 and above. The relatively low mintage for the series also contributes to its desirability.
Die varieties, while not as prominent as in some other years, can add value for specialized collectors. These may include repunched dates or other minor die anomalies.
The historical significance of coins from the Reconstruction era adds to their appeal. Additionally, the Indian Head design is popular among collectors, making this coin sought after as part of complete sets of the series.
As with many copper coins, the color and quality of toning can significantly affect value, with attractive, natural toning being highly desirable.
