What is the value of 1842 one cent piece?

Answer 1

Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1842 Liberty Head cent has large & small date varieties and both are fairly common. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $20.00-40.00, better grade are $45.00-$90.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $100.00-$260.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelery or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer
