I haven't posted in quite a while, but here I am. I was cleaning up a haphazard shelf full of coins and supplies when this popped out. It's from one of those scammy "Unsearched wheat / Indian penny roll" on ebay, bought when I was unaware that they were scams. I tried to capture the date as best I could in an image, but in hand, I am positive of it being 1872. Is this at all collectible? PCGS population report says that there is only 1 PO01 1872 indian. Whaddya think? Does it even qualify as PO01?    |

I'll take your word for it that it's an 1872. Scarcer date, but hard to see this worth much more than ten bucks if that.

If it is in fact a 1872 IHC, then you may get around 20 dollars for it on ebay. This issue is highly sought even in very low grades because it is a semi key date in the Indian head series. |

If you have the money to do it, send it to PCGS. If it is a PO01, or even straight grades slightly higher, you can maximize value selling.

It would qualify for a PO1 only if you can be sure of the date.
I tried to enhance the numbers but still cannot say for sure
what year it is.

It's not a lowball if TPG can't read the date. Waste of money to submit this. So what's it worth even if you got PO-01?  |

It can only be 1872 or 1873. Only those years had the small date font.
