    I'd say F15 to VF20 details, damaged. (Looks like someone started to put a jewelry hole in it at 11:00 on the obverse, on Star #6, but did not fully penetrate the coin. One sees this occasionally.)

    Here's the relevant PCGS Photograde page. (Scroll to the left on that page to see the lower grades.) It's a useful tool overall, but somewhat ambiguous in the case of your coin, since their VF20 example looks better than the VF25, and their F15 example looks about equal to the VF25. (It's a nice free online tool, but I prefer other grading guides like the ANA standards. But I digress.)

    Due to the damage, I'd price it more like a G4 coin, which would be around $20 per Numismedia. Realistically, $16-20, I'd say.

    Hope this helps.

    F-15 details damaged. Agreed someone started to hole it. Not much value due to the damage and being a common date

    No opinion.
    Small, out of focus images.

    Think of it this way.
    Would you buy that coin from those images?

    If you open them in a new tab, you can see them a bit larger, at least with the Chrome browser.

    Damaged details. Common date so you can easily find another.
