    Bora, I think it would help you a lot if you learned how to grade coins yourself. That way, you have the knowledge to make sensible bids based on price guides.

    My own opinion: It looks like a Very Fine to me, and price guides list that retail value anywhere from $50 to $100. That's a starting point.

    Very nice coin,but kinda looks like it is cleaned. Especially the REV.

    I agree, it looks cleaned to me.

    Numismedia lists the coin's value at $41 in VG-8. While this coin has F/VF details, with the harsh cleaning it has undergone I suggest you not pay more than very good money for it.

    I agree. To be honest, I wouldn't buy this coin...I would pass and find another example what isn't damaged. But, I wouldn't pay any more than VG money for it at the most.

    Suggestion: keep looking for another half.
