Obverse Description: A portrait bearing the likeness of a Native American in full headdress framed by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. The date is centered at the bottom under the portrait.
Reverse Description: The reverse bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon with arrows tied in at the bottom center.
General Notes: A near semi-key date in the Indian Cent Series in which very few have been saved, explains the scarcity of the 1874. Most of the surviving examples are known in circulated grades. Scarce in Mint State as the value gradually increases with more red color. High-end red gems are extremely rare.
