    Meat of a vf but heavily corroded. I’d say g-4 is about right

    Is it worth $200?

    I wouldn't do it due to the corrosion. I'd rather pay more and get a nicer coin.

    The photos are too dark to see much. From what I can see, it looks corroded with some decent hair detail.

    Beyond that, I give you this warning. Beware of Chinese counterfeits. There are many of them out there, and when they fake early U.S. copper, it is often with surfaces similar to this. They have even fooled the major grading services.

    If these photos are all you have upon which to base your purchase, PASS.

    I was also on corroded. No grade. Details.

    Besides the wrong attribution notes on the holder (not a head of '95, not a no fraction bar) it is pretty heavily corroded but appears genuine to my eye. I would "grade" it somewhere between $150.00 and $200.00...

    Jack is right, not a head of 95, head of 94 and the attribution is S-55 a common variety. A net grade of G-4 is probably about right, I think $200 is probably too much.
