It is a slightly lower mintage. It could be either a Bold or Shallow 'N' (the letter in CENT), which could increase the value depending on which one.
The coin itself might have been dipped in a corrosive substance, making it look that way. Or it was just treated really badly when in circulation

Corroded, rim damage, and porous services, so you'd probably get $30 on ebay. |

Not bad, got this and 6-7 other 1800's out of a $1 ea. bin.

Without a reverse picture, I can only guess possible VF+ Details/badly corroded. It is considered a key-date in the series along with the 1872,1877,1908-S,1909-S.
If this would have been a problem free example, you could have been looking at a $300-$400 coin. In this condition, you are probably looking at $40-50 tops.

Agreed with being damaged, corrosion, dings and what may be micro porosity. I would say VF details. I agree, you won't get that much for it due to its condition, but if you're lucky, you may get anywhere from $25 to $50, depends on the buyers.

The others were 1898, 1862, 1888, 1890, 1896, 1863, 1897, and 1892... Nothing special about those right?

1888 There is a very rare overdate known as Snow-1 and Snow-2 varieties. If you have a loupe, look at the last 8 of the date. If it looks normal, it is. If you see any extra "lines" at top and bottom of date, hold on to it. http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/UserIm...%20large.jpgswcoin.ecrater.com

Hey, for $1 thats a steal! You'll probably be getting at least twenty times what you paid, if not considerably more

You probably did well with the coppernickel 1862 and 1863 cents as well.

I remember pulling an XF-AU indian out of the junk bin, sold it for $10 to some other kid when I was young...

I think it was buried and later cleaned. I think it went into the ground around XF. That's a great score for just a dollar!  |

VF details, pitted, corroded, gouges. Maybe $25-30 like others said. But great steal for a buck! The Copper nickels are a good steal for a buck too- even badly worn or corroded pieces go for $4-5.
