<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lars202, post: 831673, member: 23516&quot;]Jane; Your coin is still worth something, I checked and there was no large cents made by a US mint after 1855. If the coin is dated 1879 and has one cent on it, it would have to be an Indian Head, which was minted starting in 1859. A 1879 coin in the latest price guide ranges from $7.00 for a g-4 which is a condition where&nbsp; the word LIBERTY on the bonnet is completely worn off, to $300.00 for a ms-65 which is a coin that is near perfect, no sign of wear on any high points and no contact marks.&nbsp; &nbsp; More than likely your coin is in the 20-40 range now after you cleaned it. Which is a $33-$75 dollar spread. I am new at this also so I know how you feel. Go on the internet and type iin &quot;coin cleaning&quot; to get professional advice on which methods and chemicals to use for cleaning coins, there are a multitude of processes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
