History
Indian Head pennies were minted from 1859 to 1909, designed by James Barton Longacre. These coins featured Lady Liberty wearing a Native American headdress, a design that became iconic in American numismatics. The coins shown here date from the early 1900s, during the final decade of the Indian Head penny's production before being replaced by the Lincoln cent in 1909. Swank was a prominent American men's accessories company founded in 1897, known for transforming everyday items like coins into fashionable cufflinks and jewelry. These cufflinks appeal to collectors of vintage menswear accessories, numismatists interested in repurposed coins, and enthusiasts of mid-20th century American fashion. The combination of historic coinage and quality craftsmanship makes these pieces desirable for their nostalgic value and connection to both American monetary history and classic men's style.
