What are "common date" G-VG IHCs really worth (say, maybe with corrosion or just yucky)?

I have a friend with some and while some are Good, some are G with yuckiness about them...are they worth anything, generally?
More than 1c?

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • True G-VG about $1.00 each but with corrosion/holes/damage I would pay .50 or less for each.

    Just an amatuer opinion.

    Thanks Man,

    I was thinking $0.25-$0.50 myself but, I wouldn't normally buy them......maybe as giveaways to kids who haven't seen them, but not for myself.
    My friend did have a nice F 1888 Dime and a F 3ct piece, but nost of the stuff was only G-VG like 2 handfuls of IHCs.

    Even while low grade and bought as bulk I will not buy damaged or cull coins as I have no use for them at all. In my opinion they are worth one cent each. 75 cent to dollar G-VG problem free coins are a dime a dozen they are so common, and if I were to give them to a kid I'd rather give them coins that are at least of some collectible quality and value. Corroded, pitted, dirty coins are worthless.

    Nice G/ VG and better indians are wholesaling for $1.60 now. Problem coins will vary
    from about a dime for a corroded bent and holed piece of junk to $.75 for a nice attrac-
    tive coin that might be rehabilitated. If you just want to pull out the bad ones and not
    deal with them further then they should bring about $1.25 each.

    These are getting much harder to find than many realize because they have been getting
    cleaned out of dealers' stock for four years now. Finding quantities is much tougher now.
