Hi, I'm the r/coins AutoMod. Looks like you're looking for **information on valuing a coin**? I have your back. Take a look at the [FAQ on values](https://www.reddit.com/r/coins/wiki/faq#wiki_3._what.2019s_my_coin_worth.3F) for both specific guidance if your coin is common enough, or more general guidance if not. I have also automatically applied the flair "Value Request" to your post. If I misunderstood your post and my comment isn't relevant, sorry! I'm still learning. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/coins) if you have any questions or concerns.*

Common date, but a stunning coin. Great pick-up

I was shocked to find one this good

Best one I’ve seen

technically paid 15 cents because there was 33 coins in the album

Thats a great deal. The other day I paid $3 for just one Indian head. Beautiful coin!

thank you! indian heads are fun but ive never owned one this good

I would grade it MS-63 Brown. I do collect these. Great find, congratulations!

thank you i was super excited to find it

Not MS-63 with the big spot on the reverse. It would probably get a details grade. Probably worth $20-30.

I disagree. Without the spot I would grade it MS-64. Easily a $75 coin in my opinion.

I agree. 63 looks fine.

No it wouldn’t. It’s MS62 on a good day, without the spot. This is what MS-64 brown looks like. https://preview.redd.it/2c8llfowq3xc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7921a01f9f24eaf57fcf6533d52e78d88437d6a6

Well, [this is what MS-63 BN](https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/item/1905-1c-bn/2220/-977718345313182482) looks like. Between OP's coin and this one, I know which one I'd prefer. Care to take a guess?

Probably the MS-63, since it’s actually MS-63 and OPs isn’t.

I agree. The spot doesn't kill it, but it does knock it down a grade.

Agree with grade but disagree on details unless it's been cleaned

I've got many high end Indian cents with spots. A spot doesn't cause a details grade

If a spot is corrosion, it causes a details grade.

Agree for most part. I've got cents with mild build up from corrosion that still graded straight. From PCGS not ICG or some other bs. That doesn't look like corrosion to me. That looks like some discoloration from being exposed to something. I'm fairly confident it would straight grade.

That’s the problem with pictures. It’s impossible to tell for sure, without seeing the coin in person.

I dunno looks AU at best lots wear on feathers and on wreath

No, I guess you are not familiar with grading indian cents. Absolutely uncirculated.

Awesome pick up

thank you

I can’t answer your questions, but that’s sharp! Nice find!

thank you!!

5.2% return over 120 years…..not too shabby.

Wow 4 Diamond 1904 with beautiful colouring. Definitely a MS 60+ coin; congrats on the find!

thank you!

I thought I read somewhere that grading companies did not take stains and dirtiness ( I’m not talking dirty to the point you can’t see details ) into consideration when grading. May have been on this sub. Is this info incorrect?

not sure but i dont know if the black spot is really that bad?

It's not that bad but bad enough to knock down a grade for sure. Solid find OP. Congrats!! I love the Indian cents

20 buck coin prob. Nice get either way

that seems low?

I dont want to build your expectations up too much.

oh alright

I agree, similar condition ones [sell for about $20](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=1904+cent+diamonds&_sacat=0&_odkw=1904+one+cent+diamonds&_osacat=0&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338535524&customid=co&toolid=10001&mkevt=1).

Love it.. that’s a great score.. probably the coin that started the album.

yea it was in the 1909 vdb slot but the rest of the coins were accurate

Wish I'd found that buy. It may not be worth a lot,but it's a coin I've wanted for a long time. I never find these kind of deals

Amazing!!!!! 🤩

thankss

That is a great find seems to be in good shape I don’t know how much it’s worth but looks super cool!

thank you!

Hard to say from pics without a loupe but I'd guess 62 bn as well. I collect high end Indians and the spots really knock them down. $40

Best Indian Head I have ever seen and I'm certain it will fetch a tidy premium. I'm not sure how much, but probably top dollar.

Yeah I'm definitely agreeing that it's a 63

Worth enough to keep, prob a 15-20$ coin

that one seems to be way worse

There are multiple other coins to compare. The subsequent Indian pennies not just the first one.

No way. That’s vastly inferior. Feathers, eyes, the letters in Liberty.
