Depends on condition and the range of dates...

You can safely assume that any Indian Head cent in decent condition is worth at least a dollar. But the prices can be much higher. Here is a good guide:

And you need to define "decent condition".

Only assume a dollar if the coin has at least part of "Liberty" readable.

And do NOT use numismedia for un-graded and low condition coins, please. It won't help you.

With part of "liberty" readable, they'd be G8, with a common date blue book value of $1.10. In G4, they're listed at 80-85 cents.
