Notes for JAMES BARTON LONGACRE:
James Barton Longacre was an engraver. From 1844 until his death, he was the engraver to the United States Mint in Philadelphia, PA and designed all the new coins struck during the period from 1844 to 1869. His work included the "Double Eagle", the "Three Dollar Piece", and the "Gold Dollar." He was also the designer of the "Indian Head" penny. In 1859 he designed the penny with a representation of an Indian princess on the obverse and a laurel wreath on the reverse. He reportedly used his daughter Sarah, born February 20, 1828, as his model. The "Indian Head" cent was first issued in 1859 and was actually a representation of Liberty wearing an Indian headdress. All Indian pennies were coined at the Philadelphia mint.
