yanks21 Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 12:24 am I came across an Indian Head penny for sale and the owner does not know how much to ask and I don't know what to offer. I'm worried about fakes of course and only have two pictures to go by. Does anyone see anything good or bad with these pictures. Any idea of value from the pics would help as well. Thanks in advance, Kevin. Edited by yanks21 07/14/2016 01:01 am Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 12:33 am Very worn, severely damaged in multiple ways (cleaned, plated/polished, enviromental damage, quite possibly bent) and worth about $0.01.

Mike1487 Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 12:33 am This is a common date in the IHC series. The coin suffers from either environmental damage or a harsh cleaning, or both due to the splotchy and uneven color. Pretty much a junk bin coin worth a dollar at most. Are you starting an Indian Head cent collection? Report this Post to the Staff
yanks21 Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 12:55 am Thanks for the quick replies. I just pick up coins here and there to put away for my daughter. I just realized how I spelled Indian in my title. I should have waited until the morning after some good sleep to post that question. Thanks everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 1:03 pm Technically any Indian Head cent is worth more than $0.01 due to the Copper content Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 4:44 pm Even so, I wouldn't pay more than one cent for this one! Anyway, yanks - to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog 07/14/2016 4:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 9:27 pm All good Kevin. That was one to let slip away. Do you have a Red Book? You can get to know what coins are semi-key or key for the next item to come along. Report this Post to the Staff
