Picked up an 1879 Indian Head today for $2. Definite buy?

I looked through a bin of Indian heads at a pawn-like shop. I really didn't know the mintage and value on Indian Heads but I was glad to see this is usually worth a bit more than $2. Now I know 1877 is a rare one. This one is in pretty good shape, I dont know if the scans do it justice (the scan of the back doesn't) but everything is pretty much visible.

I think $2 is pretty much the "going rate" for bulk Indian Heads. I have sold a bunch at $2 and picked some up at $2 so who knows...
