Coin and Paper Money Collecting/1860 Indian Head Cent

Advertisement


Question
Should a 1860 Indian Head Cent with a 100º CCW ROTATED REVERSE (graded G-6) command a 100% premium from the price guides ? I cannot find any information on the web or my own books that helps. Thanks

Answer
Ron,

There is no standard amount of premium that a rotated reverse coin will get -- you just have to see what the market will bear.  In my experience, I price it what I think it will sell for (in your case a 100% premium), and allow for negotiation (perhaps down to a 50% premium).

I wish I could be more specific, but there is no more guide than the open market.

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
