1864 Indian Head Cent PCGS G04 – RPD FS-2306 (S-10) “L” on Ribbon | Medal Alignment Mint Error
“A true one-of-a-kind piece in our inventory — once sold, it may not be available again.”
Own a rare and historically significant Civil War-era coin with this 1864 Indian Head Cent, certified G04 by PCGS and featuring the recognized RPD (Repunched Date) FS-2306 (Snow-10) variety. This piece also exhibits the desirable “L” on Ribbon variety and medal alignment error, making it a highly collectible multi-variety coin.
Struck during one of the most pivotal years in American history, the 1864 Indian Head Cent marked a major transition in U.S. coinage, including the introduction of the “L” on Ribbon design (initial of engraver James B. Longacre). The presence of the Repunched Date (RPD) adds another layer of rarity, as it reflects a minting anomaly where the date was struck more than once in slightly different positions.
Additionally, this coin shows medal alignment, a deviation from the typical coin alignment used for U.S. coinage, further enhancing its uniqueness and appeal among advanced collectors.
Graded G04 (Good), this coin displays heavy circulation wear consistent with its age, yet retains enough detail to clearly identify its key features and rare attributes. Coins from this era—especially with multiple recognized varieties—are highly sought after and increasingly difficult to find.
Encapsulated and authenticated by PCGS, this coin offers confidence, protection, and strong long-term collectible value.
