I’ll have to ask Ernie “Indian cent” Tabbler about it. The guy (literally) wrote the book on Indian head cents.

Historically interesting, but I doubt if it will ever be worth much more except to very specialized collectors. It’s not as though it’s an overdate or something obvious like a missing Buffalo leg (after all, it took decades to find). Also, if that dot is raised it will wear fast, and there might not be many left except in the high grades, such as Brian’s lucky example. So the total population could be pretty small. Still, it would be nice to have one.

The 2010 red book does not have a diferent price for the dots.. however, in MS63, a normal 1875 is worth $260. So, I Would guesstimate the price to be anywhere from $300-$600.

I recently acquired a complete Indian collection in uncirculated and proof condition. The 1875 is definitely is a dot reverse. Mine looks just like the picture in the 2010 Red Book. Any idea of its worth in say MS 65 red?

I have a 1900 Indian head with a dot under the last 0 in the date. It looks like someone used a tiny punch on the die.H ard to see without magnification.

Ed,

I checked my 1875 one cent. Worn, but no dot.

Nuts!
