howell1018 Pillar of the Community United States 798 Posts	Posted Yesterday 12:12 am I know next to nothing about Indian Head cents. I don't own a single example, but browsing through ebay listings, and other sources, it's my perception that proof examples are worth less than examples meant for circulation of the same year, mint, and grade. Is my perception wrong? If not, why is this so? Report this Post to the Staff

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7398 Posts	Posted Yesterday 7:42 pm Proofs are more expensive in the higher mintage years but for the 69 to 77 years a proof in comparable grade is much cheaper, since many people collect for registry set they will want business strikes for me that collects by date regardless of strike I'll gladly pay less for a proof. Proofs also look better. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11982 Posts	Posted Today 6H 14M ago The collector base for business strike Indian cents is larger than that for proofs so demand is greater. Proofs live in a tight grading range at the top of the range and are more available in the highest grades. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
