Coin and Paper Money Collecting/1882 Indian head penny

Advertisement


Question
I wanted to know if the value of the standard Indian head pennies are going to increase or are they going to stay as low as they are for a long time?

Answer
Hi Chris,

If the coin is VF or lower in grade, chances of appreciation in the near future are not good.  Traditionally, only mint condition Indian cents appreciate at a decent rate unless they are key dates of which 1882 is not one of them.
