Judging the condition of your 1906 penny leads to its accurate value, perhaps higher value. The various stages of wear are defined by a 'grade' represented by the following images and descriptions.
Uncirculated: Grading 'uncirculated' and at the top of 1906 Indian head penny value no wear is present to its surfaces. Close examination is made to the ends of the feathers, hair and headband above her eyebrow and cheek and neck. These areas are the highest parts of the design and in the case of the neck and cheek, quickly show any wear. You are looking for a slight flattening to the normal roundness of the designs. A toning towards brown in color is expected on some coins.
Extremely Fine: A 1906 Indian penny in 'extremely fine' condition displays all major and minor design details. Your coin’s overall appearance is distinct and sharp. Light wear has begun to remove the roundness of the hair curls behind her neck. In the center of the ribbon over these curls portions of the diamonds are fading. Hair above her eye and along the lower headband is showing light but distinct wear. Overall a visually pleasing coin, with no distracting faults.
Fine: As a coin begins to show moderate wear its grade is termed 'fine.' Feathers once finely detailed are now smooth at the ends and worn in the centers. Hair curls are no longer rounded in appearance with parts blending into the headband. Below the ear and behind her neck the headdress ribbon and hair is lacking detail and separation.
Good: Worn to a shallow relief with little detail remaining describes a coin in 'good' condition. The area surrounding the eye is slightly defined. Just visible is a separation of chin and neck. The headdress and feathers are worn smooth showing just an outline. Although the lettering and date are heavily worn they should be separated from the rim. Your 1906 Indian head penny value may be at the low end of the scale but because of its history they remain an important coin.
