General Notes: The 1906 Indian Cent is a common issue in the Indian Cent Series that would make the ideal type coin because of its high mintage (nearly 100 million), accessibility and affordability. Circulated coins are extremely common and accessible. In order for uncirculated coins to be scarce and valuable there must be partial or total red coloring and be in gem condition.
