Condition and 1907 Indian Head Penny Value

It is the small subtle changes in a coin’s surface causing large swings in value. Often these differences are left to a magnifying glass to discover. Compare your coin to the images accurately judging its condition. All 1907 pennies are worth a close examination.

Uncirculated: Total absence of wear is required to reach the lofty 'uncirculated’ grade. Original mint luster is still visible over the entire coin, often toned a pleasing brown. By tilting an uncirculated penny side to side, unbroken luster rotates across the surface. Also, inspect the high points of the design for evidence of wear. A dulling and smoothness of the surface on her eyebrow, cheek and the ends of the feathers is an indication of slight wear. Heavier wear is noticeable by flattening of normally curved contours.

Extremely Fine: A 1907 Indian head penny in 'extremely fine' condition is well defined in all areas of the design. Boldly rounded and separated are the hair curls and headdress ribbon below her ear. The headband remains very detailed with every letter in 'Liberty' complete and sharply defined. Overall a nice coin with some light wear that does not detract from its appearance.

Fine: As a collectible coin, 1907 Indian head penny value in 'fine' condition is generally double a lesser grade example. Moderate with ample detail defines the grade. Wear has reduced the highest details considerably but not to the point of merging one into the other. The ribbon behind her neck is still separated from the hair, although worn smooth as it crosses. All lettering of 'Liberty' is visible within the headband.

Indian

Good: If a coin’s surface has received extensive wear it is referred to as 'good' condition. Although the portrait is very worn the bold design is clearly separate of the surface. Few details of the headdress remain, feathers are just an outline and the headband is obscured. Her facial features are very faint, the eye does have some depth and the cheek is faintly separated from her neck. If a small amount of roundness is visible to her face your 1907 Indian head penny value is slightly higher.
