<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 804362, member: 5233"]What you have there appears to be a normal Indian Head Cent that was plated with gold. The 1895 is a common date and without the plating it would probably be worth a few dollars. With the plating, the coin is considered "damaged" by traditional coin collectors and worth less (but not worthless <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). The Indian Head Cent is highly collected but plated examples really aren't. I suspect this coin is worth $1 at the most. But, it is interesting and cool...so that alone makes it a fun coin to own.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>To me fellow CTers:</b> It's amazing to me that more posts in this thread are about the cents vs. penny discussion and not about the actual question.
