kelli New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/22/2016 3:26 pm I have an 1869 Indian Head penny. The front is in excellent condition. The reverse is blank and smooth with a silver tone. Any idea of worth? Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/22/2016 6:46 pm Your weight conflicts with my initial blind assessment- PMD via reverse removal from a lathe or grinder, that is why it is always a good idea to see pictures before commenting too much. It appears that your coin is in some kind of encasement as seen by the extra "lip" of copper around the rim, which also explains why your coin is 2 grams heavier than it should be. 1869 is a tougher date and it would have been worthwhile getting that coin removed but 1896 is a common date and only worth $1-2 in that condition.
