The most popular of them is based on Longacre’s 12-year-old daughter. The story claimed she wore a Native American headdress in her father’s workshop, which gave inspiration to the design. However, this is entirely untrue.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a matter of fact, Longacre’s daughter was actually 30 years old when this historic 1908 Indian Head cent coin was designed. Several confirmed reports have debunked this story and many others. However, many are still interested in knowing what inspired Longacre to create this masterpiece.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">It's great that, before James Longacre died, he clarified that the inspiration behind the liberty figure on the coin is based on a sculpture rather than a personal anecdote. The design is borne from a popular statue in Philadelphia known as “Crouching Venus.” The statue was borrowed from the Vatican, influencing the authentic classical influence to this creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">All of these myths, stories and folklore only contribute to the mystery and charm of the Indian Head Penny.
