Any meat left on the bone with this Large cent?

1804 Large Cent, restrike of 1860. Wondering if its worth buying slabbing and flipping? Or is it already at retail? Any thoughts or opinions?

    You have to get it in a 64 holder to make money. That green verdigris might keep it from straight grading

    Go look at the Heritage prices realized.

    Are you looking at the 1804 prices for the originals or the restrikes?
