    Sorry, all low grade worn common date Indian Head cents not worth very much. Doubt you would any where near a dollar for them.

    Wow, being new to this, when you see something so old, one cant help but think "this HAS to have some added value." Lol. Thank you for your answer!

    If you're interested in coin collecting buy the book A guide book to United States Coins, more commonly known asm"The Red Book". It has tons of valuable information on US coins.

    25 cents each for low grade Indian Head cents.
    When they are in a little better shape $1 each.
    And there are a decent number of "good dates", so you have to know what those are.

    Ok, ty. What's the story on the one that is red? Was that color a result from the process of making it (intentional) or somehow the red came about from other sources after it was made?

    Most likely environmental damage. If that coin was in the ground, and recovered (metal detector). The soil, air, water, chemicals react with the copper and turn it red.
