Question
I want to sale a 1906 Indian penny to see how much?

Answer
The value of coins depends greatly on condition.  A 1906 can range from a quarter or so if in really bad condition to a couple hundred dollars if in great condition, essentially as if it just came off the presses.  There is nothing you can do to improve condition so please don't try -- you will only lessen value by trying to "clean" your coin.

Go to www.ebay.com and do searches for 1906 cent and 1906 penny and you'll see several in different conditions (and pictured ) for sale so you can compare and see what the offering price is and what people are bidding.  Jim Lawniczak
