    With those scratches and the ding on the reverse I don't think it would straight grade. I wouldn't bid $20 on it. Then again, I don't know enough about the series.

    I have one actually . It seems like a tough date . I wouldn't go more than $25 . I grade it a VG details because of her gash .

    They may list as a "tough" date but I see at least 3-4 of them a day on ebay or vcoins... now try for an 1816, an actual key date and your might see 3-4 a week that are not bad culls... or several hundered dollars of course if you wanna pay out for MS LCs... they almost alway availible :D

    It's the kind of coin you might buy now to fill a hole and will regret having bought later because you now want something better. It's a "junk box" large cent, and the specialist dealers sell these for low prices.

    I don't shop for them so I don't exact numbers, but the prices are not that high, like $10 to $25 each. The 1818 large cent is a common date, even in Mint State because of Randal Hoard.

    That deep dent on the obverse is more than enough to keep me from spending $20 on it.
