The Small Cent has existed since 1856. The Flying Eagle was the first Small Cent, released in 1856. The Flying Eagle had a short production period, because it was reported as a difficult design to strike. to strike. The Flying Eagle coin was discontinued in 1858.
The Indian Head Small Cent was the next issue. Its design featured a closed laurel wreath on the reverse in 1859 and included the shield on the reverse above the open oak wreath between the years 1860 and 1909.
The Small Cent started to resemble the contemporary pennies during 1864 when the composition was changed to 95 percent copper, five percent tin and zinc and a weight reduction.
The Indian Head Small Cent design was a popular coin of the day, but in 1909 the design was replaced with a bust of Abraham Lincoln designed by Victor D. Brenner in honor of the centennial anniversary of Lincoln's birth.
