You'll need to have the coin inspected in person by someone who is knowledgeable about Indian cents. There are 3 major varieties of Indian cent from that year: some were struck in a copper-nickel alloy, and others were struck in bronze. Some of the bronze cents carried a tiny "L" on the headdress's ribbon (for the designer, James Longacre) and are worth more than the ones that don't have the "L". Unless you can definitely make the distinction, it's not possible to assign a value sight-unseen. For example, in well-worn condition, cupronickel 1864s retail for about $15, no-"L" bronze cents issues are about $10, but those with an "L" are worth around $50. The prices go up proportionately for coins with less wear.
