You'll have to read the rules on trading. You'll need fifty post to trade.

thats attainable. My first objective though is to find a price guide.
I also have 100feedback on other forums, and am cool with shipping first to people who have decent amount of transactions/reputation :)

A lot of those years you list have repunched dates and 1887 has a nice doubled die. If you post pics, we'll help you spot anything interesting.   |

will do :)
which side do you guys want? or both sides?
Individual pics? or pic of all?
Also, is there a price guide anywhere? I found a great price guide for CDN coins, jhavent found much for US or Newfies.
any specific years? or just the 1887?

I'd recommend putting the front & back next to each other with a close up of the date if at all possible. Also, i'd be interested in 5 or so per post, more and i'll just get confused (although maybe someone else would disagree and want 20 coins in a post).

On IHCs, most varieties are found on the obverse, but taking both sides is a good idea  with Robbudo, it's easier to discuss posts that show just a few coins. |

As for price, it depends on grade and condition. Most of those coins are worth anywhere from $4 -$15 in lower condition (VF-XF), if higher grades (AU-MS), the value goes up significantly and of course if a variety, that usually adds a significant premium to the coin. If you post specific grades I can give you a list of approximate prices, or check out Numismedia.

those pictures are unfocused and too poor a quality to see the dates, let alone check for doubled dates and other errors.

Im not the greatest at taking pictures lol. tried my best to make sure I could read the dates on them though. ie: http://img526.imageshack.us/i/coins036.jpg/ clear 1909 , 1907 What is numismedia? Also, how do I analyze grading of them? What do I look for? Some of them are in decent shape |

one thing, those aren't Indian Head cents in that picture, those are liberty head nickels. We can read the dates on them (if that is what you were asking) but they are not close enough to make out any doubling or anything like that. You would need to get closer to the coin and have clear pictures to be able to see anything like doubling. As far as grading, either you have to know how to grade or you can post pictures on here and we can help you with the grading so you can find how much they are worth. This coin here was graded MS-63 RED by ANACS just for reference on what a MS Indian cent should look close to  |

oh sorry. I didnt know the difference.
I guess I need to do some more homework on my coins! (dont know anything at all about US). Are they still worth 4-15$ on the low?

You can get a general coin book like the Whitman Red Book or Blue book to give you an idea of retail and wholesale prices. Available on line at their site. Worked for me for the last 50 years |
