    I like the amount of detail on this coin !! But it definitely seems to have been cleaned.

    Can you help me with how much this coin is worth?

    Thanks

    It looks to be pretty good shape. I would guess about $100.

    Personaly I dont think it would but then again I am very conservative LOL and not the greatest grader in the universe, to be honest it is extreemly hard to tell from that pic if it has damage to the rim and what marks are on the coin
