I recently got 3 of these in a coin lot, two were regular Indian heads and one seems to be a different size metal and be dated 1858, any information would be appreciated, thank you. Ps. sorry for the poor picture quality

That looks like a copper-nickel 1859 to me.

Correct. It is a one cent Indian cent made of copper-nickel instead of bronze. It is also the only year that Indian Head cents had the "Laurel Wreath" reverse versus the common Oak Wreath and shield reverse.
