I agree. A two with a circulation hit. The bottom is clear.

Looks like a 2, but could be a 3.

The bottom of the 3 on an 1873 IHC does not go like that.

Definitely a two. I don't think that it's worth slabbing with all of that damage on it.

It's a details coin from damage and corrosion. The value doesn't justify the cost of grading.

Don't waste your money on grading fees. Coin isn't worth it

For that you should just go to ebay and search on 1872 Indian Head cent (Buy it Now / Sort by lowest first) and you will see the other coins in similar condition to yours. That's the best way to anticipate what the market values it at right now.

Not worth getting it graded as cost of TPG way surpasses the face value. In this condition it could fetch $20 to $30

It is an album or folder hole filler at best. I would say at most $50 for someone really not wanting to spend $80 for a good one, but $20-$30 quoted above is more likely.
