How much is a penny from 1891?

Pennies that can still be found from 1891 will vary greatly in both grade and type - and therefore vary wildly in prices on the collectors' market.

Indian Head Copper Cents, which were minted with a bronze composition in that particular year, can reach as high as four figures ($8533 in MS+) to as low as 2 or 3 dollars for Good examples that show wear over the more than century of passing hands. Steel cent pennies from the exact same year, on the other hand, can command up to the tens of thousands, with MS+ quality being in the region of $46k in recent sale events due to their comparative extreme rarity.
