1864 Indian Head Cent - Thick Copper-Nickel (CN) Variety - Pre-Bronze Type Rare

1864 Indian Head Cent - Key Copper-Nickel (CN) Variety
​Up for sale is an 1864 Indian Head Cent. This is the scarce Copper-Nickel (CN) variety, not the common bronze version.
​1864 was the transitional year when the U.S. Mint stopped making the "White Cents" and switched to the thinner bronze cents we are familiar with today. This coin is one of the last "White Cents" ever made.
​Key Features:
​Coin: 1864 Indian Head Cent
​Composition: Copper-Nickel (CN)
​Type: This is the thick, heavier "White Cent" alloy, the same used from 1859-1863.
​Significance: This is a "must-have" for collectors who want to show the complete 1864 transition (the Copper-Nickel, the bronze, and the bronze "L" variety).
​This is a genuine piece of history from a pivotal year for U.S. coinage.
​Please examine the photos carefully to judge the grade and condition for yourself. The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.
