The 1902 Indian head cent is not a scarce date is worth about $1 to $2.35 in circulated grades good-very fine. It is worth more if in mint state. A grade good coin, the liberty on the head band is worn off. In very fine the word liberty is complete but may show even wear. Not all old coins have great value. They are all historic and their value lies in that fact. The Indian head cent as well as the Buffalo nickel are true American coins with no European influence. The above values are about what a coin dealer would pay. At least you have a coin that in its day could actually buy something by itself.

I have the 2008 Red Book of coins.
The value of the penny depends solely on the condition of the coin.
In minimum Good condition, where a good bit of details are present and there is minimal severe damage to the coin, a 1902 Indian Head Cent could be worth about $2.00.
In the best possible condition, where all details are clear and there is no damage to the coin, a 1902 Indian Head Cent could be worth about $300.00. *In this condition, you must be able to clearly read "LIBERTY" on the indian's headband.*
My advice would be to find a coin dealer with a good reputation to give you an estimate on the grade of your coin. Then, I would advise you to go buy a Red Book from a book store (usually costs around $12-$14) and look up the value according to the grade given to you by the dealer.

It depends on the condition of the coin so you need to have an idea of how to grade a coin. You could take it to a local coin dealer, you could go to pcgs.com and look of the value in their price listing or you could get a copy of CoinValues magazine.
If it is in average circulated condition it would retail for about $2.50.

Depending on the condition - I'd say it's probably worth only a couple of dollars - but think of how many places your treasure has been and how many hands it has been through before making it's way to you...I'd hold onto it - perhaps it will end up being your lucky penny ;)
