Two problems:
-- it's not a penny; it's a CENT (see the reverse).
-- image WAY too dark for grading; details had to see.

Picture is hard to see. I cannot see any letters in LIBERTY on headband. I would grade it G to under VG. The strike is nice.

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.

No need to be. Call it a cent or penny or whatever you choose as long as we can understand you.

I'll stick with G-06, might be VG-08, no real difference in value.
Rest in Peace

An Indian Head cent is considered a classic coin on CCF, so I moved your post to the appropriate section for the proper attention.
