How much is an Indian head penny worth in good condition?

 

The value of an Indian head penny

The value of an Indian head penny in good condition depends on a few factors, including the year it was minted, its condition, and whether it is uncirculated or circulated.

Generally speaking, Indian head pennies minted in the early years of the series (1859-1864) are more valuable than those minted in later years. This is because the early coins are rarer and in better condition.

A circulated Indian head penny in good condition is typically worth a few dollars. However, an uncirculated Indian head penny in good condition can be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Here are some examples of the value of Indian head pennies in good condition:

1859 Indian head penny: $50-100

1860 Indian head penny: $25-50

1861 Indian head penny: $15-30

1862 Indian head penny: $10-20

1863 Indian head penny: $5-10

1864 Indian head penny: $2-5

If you have an Indian head penny that you think may be valuable, you can have it appraised by a coin dealer or auction house.
