Question
QUESTION: where can i get an 1886 indian head penny red C86II
appraised

ANSWER: Hi Mary,
What is C86II ?
Has the coin been certified and graded?  If so, I can do that without seeing the coin.
If not, the coin will have to be viewed.  Where are you located?

QUESTION: i don't know if has been graded or certified i bought it and that is what is on the little package it came in
looks like a collectors square white package
i am located in houston, tx

Answer
Hi Mary,
Certified coins come in hard plastic cases and are certified by a number of companies such as PCGS or NGC.  If it is in a cardboard holder, it has not been certified.
You would have to take it to a local dealer in Houston.  You can try US Coins in Houston, they are reputable and I recommend them.
