Notes: Around 700 proofs of the 1875 Indian Head Cent were minted this year and they can sell for up to $300 in a best case scenario. The real coin to look out for from 1875 is the raised dot. A mint employee was suspected of stealing coins and so his dies were replaced with a die that left a slightly raised dot on the reverse of the coin. Not sure how much of this legend is fact and how much is fiction, but for those collecting it may be worth doing a little more research.

How much is a 1875 Indian Head Penny worth?
In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around $20.00, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $287 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 1875, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
