Bejud New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 1:56 pm I was wondering if this recently inherited Indian Head penny may be a mint stamp error? Should it be appraised? Report this Post to the Staff

bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 4:17 pm Bejud, Very intriguing coin. A keeper for sure. As Coop posted it is a "pop out." Coop is one of the many experts here at CCF. Quote: Should it be appraised? No. It is considered a damaged coin.IMHO The next question I'm sure, "Is it valuable?" Well, could be to some. Not sure what money range. Lets see what the other CCF members think. Report this Post to the Staff
