Default Nice Indian Head Cent
Just picked this one up, and it is now my new Favorite Indian Head. Anyone care to give me a grade on it? What do you think it is worth?

Based on those photo's that coin could come in close to a BU and a cash value between 25 and 65 bucks.

Is that a cracked die under the "c" in cent, on the reverse?

I'm very new and trying to learn everyday. I'd agree with Jody, AU+. Possibly MS?

That coin is in amazing shape. I like the toning on it. I believe worst case it is a BU coin. Thank you for showing the pic of it. I think it's probably the nicest IH I've seen, I also was curious as to whether or not that is a cracked die we see in the pic?

My guess is MS60-MS63 judging as best as I can from your pictures. Beautiful toning, I wouldnt take less than 45$ for sure.

Yes, that is a cracked die and there is another crack running from the reverse rim at about 4 o'clock to the wreath and going down through the lower arrow tip. Hard to see in the picture but more noticable on the coin than the crack running up through the C in Cent. Thanks guys for pointing it out!

The toning alone is worth $45! I would say BU if I was selling it.
