tony27 New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 05/12/2013 11:46 am Would anyone know anything about this coin like how much it would be worth or what type of metals is in it?. I have googled it but the only type of penny's that come up are all in bronze I know it's a U.S.A. 1902 Penny with an Indian's head on the back except the Indian's head is outlined in gold while the rest seems to be silver. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

xZACKx Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 05/12/2013 12:04 pm Looks like this coin was silver and gold plated, and to most numismatist, that's considered as damage. The coin itself is probably worth about a buck because of the damage, IMO. But the necklace might be solid gold so that could be worth a good amount. Report this Post to the Staff

It's possible I suppose, but I doubt it based off those pictures. Look at the color of that necklace. It's not pure gold almost for sure and it would have to be a fairly soft alloy to be gold and be that color. They wouldn't make them like that unless it was an ear-ring. Besides, nobody is going to put a low grade IHC into an expensive necklace, even in contemporary times. It's probably gold plated and just as cheap as the coin held within. As far as the coin. A damaged low grade 1902 (which is very common) IHC is probably worth .50 technically, but I don't think anyone would ever buy it individually. Report this Post to the Staff
