It seems to be in good condition, nice color, easily read. Is there anyway to determine the value of such a coin? If anyone has any tips or suggestions as to where I might take it to be examined, they would all be appreciated. Thanking You in Advance, Jeannine   05-16-2006, 11:02 PM   #2 (permalink) Mikjo0 Numismatist     Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Fairfax,VA Posts: 2,321 I think you mean 1886 don't you? Many Indian Head Cents, particularly those made 1880 and later, are quite common, retailing for between $0.50 and $30+, depending on condition.1886 cents are actually worth more than a lot of years. It's an interesting thing to find in circulation.hopefully some kid didn't raid grandpa's coin collection for candy money. Here is a table showing the values,go down to 1886 and then look at 2006 prices for all conditions.If you can supply a photo,we can better determine the condition. http://www.us-coin-values-advisor.co...1891.html#1886 Last edited by Mikjo0; 05-16-2006 at 11:16 PM.   05-17-2006, 01:07 AM   #3 (permalink) MsFrogette Junior Member   Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 2 oops, yes, I meant 1886 actually. I will hopefully have a better picture of the coin soon. This is just a picture from a scan. Thank you for your reply.

The pinkish cast to the color is a give-away. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
