Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/18/2018 3:38 pm Nice penny, I'd say G-06. Report this Post to the Staff
RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 05/18/2018 4:52 pm Quote: —it's not a penny, it's a CENT (see the reverse) This is like arguing over the pronunciation of potato. I checked the official US mint website and, on several occasions, they call the coin worth 1/100 of a dollar a "penny". However, I do agree that the photos are too dark. Quote: Title is fixed sorry No need to be. Call it a cent or penny or whatever you choose as long as we can understand you. Edited by RoyCoinBoy 05/18/2018 4:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/18/2018 5:41 pm I'll stick with G-06, might be VG-08, no real difference in value. Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 05/18/2018 7:12 pm An Indian Head cent is considered a classic coin on CCF, so I moved your post to the appropriate section for the proper attention. Report this Post to the Staff
