The 1903 Indian Head cent was produced in approximately 85.1 million coins. The Wright brothers flew at Kitty Hawk in December 1903, a moment that would eventually reshape every aspect of American life. The cent that Americans used to buy the newspaper carrying that story was Longacre's Indian Head, now 44 years old and as familiar as the flag. The 1903 is a common date.
