What is a 1859-P Indian Penny?
The 1859-P Indian Penny is a coin that was produced at the Philadelphia mint. It has a legal tender value of $0.01. This was manufactured as a "Mint Strike" coin which usually means it was intended for use in daily transactions. A very large number of these coins were minted (36,400,000 to be exact), making this a less-collectible item. This coin was minted in the first year of its series, and is a more popular coin to collectors for that reason, but not necessarily to investors. This coin does not contain any notable amounts of precious metals.Coin Specifications
