First Pennies Coined in Early U.S. Mint History
The earliest pennies were the large Liberty head minted from 1793 to 1857. In 1856 the design and size changed to a smaller flying eagle type, usually copper nickel, with coinage continuing until 1888. Bronze replaced copper nickel in 1863, then the Indian head design appeared from 1858 to 1909, culminating in the Lincoln cent debut in 1909.
