    Value of 1860 penny (U.S.)
    I'm curious what the value range is. Coin is in fair condition - edges are worn - picture and text on both sides are legible. Thanks.

    I see on the following site where one in good condition is listed as being for sale at $8.50. Cache La Poudre Coins & Collectables

    Flying Blue Eagle is a person on this site who has the current documentation about such things. I'm sure that he will eventually be along to address your post and be able to give you a price range.
