Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1859 Indian Head cent is the first year of issue for the series and the reverse is a one year type. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins of this type have seen heavy use and show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $13.00-$20.00, better grade are $47.00-$103.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $150.00-$228.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer
