    I recently got 3 of these in a coin lot, two were regular Indian heads and one seems to be a different size metal and be dated 1858, any information would be appreciated, thank you. Ps. sorry for the poor picture quality.

    I believe it's an 1859. They were made with Copper-Nickel. In 1864 they started using Bronze.
