smithersjones Valued Member United Kingdom 76 Posts	Posted 01/12/2010 09:44 am Hello all, I have a small Indian Head One Cent coin that I would like an experts opinion on grading and value if possible. On the front UNITED STATES OF AMERICA surrounding the Indian Head at the bottom the date of 1881 I must add here that the Face of the Indian Head looks as if it has been deliberatly defaced with a small X across it? On the rear A wrath and sheild surrounding the words ONE CENT. Any ideas please? Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 01/12/2010 10:24 am Welcome! It's a little hard to tell from your pictures, but I would probably grade this as a VF-20, scratched. Which is a shame. It's a common date - Numismedia says $8 US for VF-20 but with the scratch, I'd cut that in half or more. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!)

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 01/12/2010 6:10 pm I'd also say VF scratched knocks it back to F. It's a common date, but the pre-1887 Indian cents seem to be getting hard to find. I think upward tick in the coin prices will happen for 1880-1886. Report this Post to the Staff
