Yes! You did a very good job! This is a pretty nice coin and the cleaning isn't really that evident. It might actually be a VF Coin. Someone graded it pretty conservatively.

 

Also what's the value on this peice

 

GREYSHEET BID is at $60.00 at VG and $70.00 at XF, so a pretty tight range. I'd say about $60.00 though!

 

VF, cleaned. I would say maybe a $40-50 coin. You didn't do too bad in the trade.

 

Good trade ! I'd rather have the half cent any day.

 

I agree, I think you did very well, I'd trade a cull Morgan for it any day of the week. As long as the blurry obverse photo isn't hiding any flaws, it appears to be a very nice coin. I think $50 sounds about right on eBay.

 

If it's truly cleaned (an honest seller!!!) then you made an even swap.
Most cleaned coins should sell for under 20% of catalog.
