  I have had this 1890 Indian Head cent Double Strike for many years. A long time ago (70s) I had a dealer look at it and he said they were too common to have much value. Lately I've seen some not as dramatic as mine going for pretty good prices. I don't want to sell it yet. But I want to know if it has value and if It would be worth it to send it in for grading and slabbing. Thanks. Best I could do with pictures at this time. *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. ***

Super cool coin. Not sure grading it would help increase the value much since the condition isn't what makes it interesting. Maybe an IHC specialist can provide a better answer. |

That's super interesting. Grading would help as to verify the authenticity of the error. Would make a buyer feel more comfortable and confident that he or she was buying a legitimate error. GrapeCollects is a great resource for this kind of thing.

I would highly recommend you send it in to verify authenticity. If authenticated I would not be surprised to see it auction for the high hundreds of dollars. but I personally would probably not bid on an error with this value without it being authenticated, and I believe so would many other potential bidders.

That was sort of my thinking too. I doubt if it would grade very high but getting it verified and slabbed might improve its future sale ability. I am a member of PCGS since I had to join to get my Enhanced Reverse Proof ASE graded and slabbed. (BTW it was a 69). Appreciate the feedback. |

Wow! These aren't common in the slightest regard. Worth around $300 IMO

Common? These are very rare birds! If authentic it will bring a substantial premium....hundreds! Great piece!

That's a truly wonderful coin. Glad to see it back. Not only is this a scarce error, but the eye appeal is wonderful. The smooth chocolate brown surfaces along with the strong secondary images are extremely attractive and would be a big part in the premium this coin would bring at sale. Normally I'd value this at around $300-325, though given the eye appeal I'd say this could fetch as high as $400.
