First is a 1881 penny. This one is pretty simple. What's the grade? Also is this NT or AT? Next is a 1905 penny, which for some reason I think is a proof. Sorry for the pictures uploading in a weird order, it's the only way I get upload them. Thanks for any help!
I'm not exactly sure. First the date seems smaller then other coins for other years close by. Second the letters seem sharper and the fields seem like the were very well struck. It could be a very new die that it was struck with or I could be crazy
If "pretty simple", a dealer should be able to answer them himself, right? Just some food for thought... Rick Snow has a fine pdf available on grading Indian Head CENTS (it's common yes, but try to avoid calling them "pennies") that you should find both helpful and enlightening. A quick Google search should easily locate it.
The 1905 is not a proof. The 1881 is AU something but it has been messed with. The color in not natural.
Pennies/Cents.... same damn thing..... With that said.... I love your Indian Head Pennies Very nice coins

Okay, but we have a 15 year old kid wanting to be a dealer and has very little to work with. Im sorry if you and your "same damn thing" infinite wisdom disagree, but at this point doing whatever may up his game or show a hint of professionalism should be considered a plus.
Funny how the mint sell "pennies" but you manage to buy cents. http://catalog.usmint.gov/2015-us-m...JXQkv-fPMd09nFrhCadF4bME52hoCXDzw_wcB&start=1 The ninth annual release of four coins in the Presidential $1 Coin Program: Harry S.

Apparently, a simple suggestion is too hard for you to understand. You know, kind of like using periods.
