It is a U.S. Indian head penny. They were minted from 1857-1909 I believe.

Any value in these?

Not really, unfortunately. I'm guessing yours is in average circulated condition which runs $1 or so. If a better grade then it would be higher. You can always eBay it and see what it brings 🙂

Before you put it up for grabs on eBay check the bottom of the back under the wreath. If you see a small letter "S" the coin is worth quite a bit more, maybe even hundreds of dollars.

Hi guys, I know nothing about coins. I basically just know how to spend them :-). Anyway, I was going through some change and I came across two pennies that are "silver" colored. I'm not saying they are silver, just silver colored. At first I thought they were dimes until I noticed that they were pennies. The years of these pennies are 1976 and 1982. Does anyone know anything about these? I haven't got a clue. Thanks, Tim (timmc67)

Hi Tim, Your cents are most likely plated in some way. This would have been done by an individual after the coins had been released from the Mint. I'm sure if you scratch through the surface, you will see the bronze underneath. Jody
