    I won this just a few minutes ago. I know it is a very poor grade, but what would you grade this, and what would the value be around? I paid 8.33, is that a bit too much? Thanks

    I would grade it a g-4 or Ag-3. I would say 8 dollars was a fair price.

    I'd grade it a 4, maybe a 3.75 on a bad day. ;)

    8 bucks for a coin that old seems more than fair.

    Neat coin! Thanks for sharing...Mike

    A little too much wear on the reverse for a G-4, should go AG-3.

    Looks like a nice JR2.

    On later stages, just left of the date, there is a cud that develops on the edge/rim due to a broken collar. On some examples, most grades VF+, there is also some roughness in the surface/fields above the date and above the E on Liberty's cap caused by rusty dies.

    The EUSD book gives this marriage an R2 but, I don't have a more current JRCS census handy to tell you if that rarity is still accurate.

    Very nice pick up for $8

    Worn well into many of the letters on the reverse.
    That will keep it down to an AG-3.

    Yep.. what they said. AG-3.5 $8.00 is an ok price, not a deal not overpaid

    AG3... and it seems like a good price for this coin. Nice pickup for $8 as long as they didn't stick it to you too much with the shipping.

    Thank you all!

    I did not understand what "CappedBustDimes" said about the coin. Is he saying it is an error?

    A piece of history like that for under 10 bucks, can't beat that with a stick.

    Nice buy. Keep up the good work.

    No, not an error. Just the variety based upon the obverse and reverse die marriage used when the coin was struck. The R-2 is the Rarity Rating which equates to about 500-1000 known.

    Take Care
