What would you pay for this 1909-s Indian head penny ???

I would pay around $550 for a coin like that, I think it grades around Fine-12.

 

Nothing.
It's not slabbed.

 

Not even a cent???

 

Details. Corrosion on the reverse.

 

100$

 

I never took that into consideration. I guess the value would be lower now.

 

Wow you have A LOT to learn !!!

 

I am thinking $325 ???

 

I think I could agree on that. It is not severe corrosion.

 

The corrosion could be stopped very easily . Also if sent to NCS it would then probably grade . I'm in the $300 area .

 

I'm at about $400.

 

I would not make an offer on the coin, it would not "fit" with my collection.

 

It's hard to tell from your photograph but the "S" bears a closer look. It doesn't appear to be as open as a genuine 1909S Indian. This year/mint is know to have been counterfeited.

 

Good eye , I didn't even look at the S . But the loop and especially the top loop of the S should be open where the ops S seems narrow . Since these are found with added MM s the op should check to make sure it's right as it may be the shading of the pic just makes the top loop appear closed .

 

Kanga, lol, he didn't ask what we'd pay for the slab, he asked what we'd pay for the coin.

Look, I get it. He wants something like that attributed. Yeah. If he doesn't know what he's doing, he sure does.

I agree with coinman1234, she's F12. Haven't looked at the market on these in that grade, so won't chance a guess on that.

 

Yep, that's pretty much it.
In decreasing order of importance:
1. Authenticity
2. Originality
3. Grade

I always put grading last since I know I can do a reasonable job with that on most coins.

 

Thank you !!!

 

I would have to have it graded just to make sure it the real deal

 

If I knew for sure it was genuine, I'd pay 50 or 60 since that's all I can afford, plus the minor corrosion on reverse is a problem for me. At least I know if I tried to sell I'd get that remark from a dealer
