[QUOTE="masterswimmer, post: 7371135, member: 102022"]This is a round copper coin in the denomination of 1 cent. We identify it as an Indian Head Cent. Around the circumference of the entire obverse of the coin are dentils. Just under the dentils, also circular are the words United States of America. All letters are upper case and raised. Within the field of the coin is the left facing bust of an Indian in full ceremonial headdress. On the headband of the headdress is the inscription Liberty. The date 1907 is beneath the Indians bust. All over the obverse of the coin are very deep scratches and gouges caused by an attempt at a very harsh and abrasive cleaning. There are spots within the feathers and to the right of the 7 in the date where green verdigris has begun to corrode the copper. There are deep gouges in the coin all around the circumference running between the dentils and rim. The coin has nice detail to the raised devices.[/QUOTE]
