Indian Head cents were made from 1859 to 1909. There are several varieties:
> 1859 : made from copper-nickel, with a wreath on the reverse
> 1860 to mid-1864 : copper-nickel, with a shield and modified wreath on the reverse
> mid-1864 to mid-1909 : bronze, with a shield and wreath
Indian head cents were minted every year during that time. Nearly all were made in Philadelphia and do not carry a mint mark. In 1908 and 1909 small numbers of Indian head cents were struck at San Francisco. They were the first cents struck there even though that Mint had been in operation for decades, and are the only US cents to ever have the mint mark on the back (below the wreath).
