I was offered a $2.50 Indian Head for $225.00. The coin is in excellent condition (you can read the BLP underneath the head with your naked eye and see all the feathers on the eagle). There is a scratch on the back like it was in somebody's pocket and was rubbing on another coin to the right of the eagle's head. Just wondering if $225.00 was a decent price?

current spot price alone is about $186, so as long as its real and your happy with the quality, it sounds good to me

It is in a coin shop and I did not feel right wanting to take a pic of it.

It sounds like a good price. I usually see dealers asking $250+ for them.

You can ask the dealer if it's okay to take a picture.

If the scratch is big, the value decreases even more. But that price don't seem to high.

I went back today and the Indian Head was gone. I did buy this though for $150.00 It is far from perfect but the price was right.

I like the Panda, and I think the price was fine.
