If you decide to sell them you should try to sell some of them here on CCF. John1  |

One more quick question. My local coin shop offered me 50 cents each for Indian cents is this fair. I have rolls of these also, probably about 700 cents total 1880s-1909 circulated condition. I don't think any of them have "liberty" visible. ed |

I wouldn't sell them for 50 cents each. Check to make sure none of the 1908 or 1909 have an s on the back. Try putting them on ebay or on here if you really want to sell them. |

Did you ever find out if you had a roll of 1924s, 1922s, 1931s, etc?

The lower dates are 1917, 19 x2, 20, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 34, 35, 36, 37 x 2, 38, 39. I haven't opened them yet so I don't know if they are all plain or some D and S also. What is a fair price to ask for the Indian cents 75 cents each, $1 each? ed |

If they are all after 1880, then I would say $1.50 or $2.00 a piece. If they are before, or if you have dates such as 1909, 1908 or 1909 s mints, then it will obviously be higher. I have saw several examples of 5 Indian Head cents after 1880 common dates selling for around $10, sometimes a little over. You might try putting them on here first. |

Bulk selling/buying is around $1/ea for common date (around G to VG) & no hole/bent/corroded..... I have seen many dealers selling tube of 50 for $50 to $60 so I don't think your coin shop will pay you more than 75cents/each. You can obviously get better price if you do the selling yourself, just remember that ebay & PayPal fees add up to around 15%. Have fun. |

http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Coin-Lot-...047675.l2557You have to account for shipping and paypal/eBay fees, but still, you will make more than $1 a piece. Total: $12.00 Shipping: $2.24 Fees: $1.73 Profit: $8.03 I probably overshot on shipping because I calculated it going to Washington. The total comes to $1.61 each. If you do this, then you will make more money. I agree that if you sell in bulk by the roll, you will probably only make about $50 or $60. I wouldn't sell them to the coin shop, sell them on this forum or on ebay. You will make more money doing it this way.

I have around 2000+ or so IHC in the range of G to VF (from around 1880s to 1908 - common date) but haven't find a feasible method to sell them yet..... I'm more than happy to net $1/ea for them. It's not easy to sell in such large quantities. |

Like I mentioned earlier, the 1917 could be MONEY,as well as, the 1936 double dies! Watch for those D.D's. Nice premiums! The Indian,I don't know too much about. -joey  |

Did you have a roll of 1943 cents or 1955 cents in the newer rolls?

@nybird: If you have any uncirculated rolls of Lincoln Memorial/Wheat cent, please post it in the Buy/Trade/Sell section, I'll be interested in them.

You should probably check the 1955 rolls for double dies and the 1943 roll for the famous copper 1943. It would be a long shot, but if you sold it and someone found one you would be sick.
