I was given some Indian head cents and found three that are interesting. Two of them I've never heard of. Need an expert to give me an opinion. The first one is what looks like an 1858. The second one is an 1859 with no shield, also, both of these are copper/nickel and weigh 4.6 grams. The third one is a 1907 obverse and a 1909 obverse. Don't know if this is counterfeit or not. How do I get it authenticated?
Altered. someone put two Obverse halves together. Impossible to have a Cent minted in that manner 2 years apart.
Your first coin look to be a 1859 date. 1859 is the first year for the IHC. https://www.usacoinbook.com/coins/small-cents/indian-head-cent/
