The Indian Head cent is one of the most famous US Coins. They were issued from 1859 to 1909. First-year issues had a wreath of olive leaves on the back; that was replaced with a laurel wreath for the remainder of the coin's existence. Wheat ears first appeared on Lincoln cents in 1909. There have been no reports of any so-called "mule" cents even though both designs were minted that year.
