Notes: The US Mint over doubled their mintages from the prior year, and in doing so got sloppy. There misfortune is our luck however as the year 1873 is one of the ultimate key dates for the Indian Head Cents. On average the coin is worth between $20 and $450 for both the open and closed 3 versions of this coin. The major winner is however the DOUBLED LIBERTY 1873 Indian Head Cent/Penny. It is worth between $250 and $10,000+ depending upon condition and market making it the 2nd most valuable of all the Indian Head Cents issued.

In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around $20.00, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $10,000 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale.
