Yours is the 1831 CM. I would grade it G4 to G6; not quite VG8.
Per the NGC/Krause link I posted above, that would make it a $3-5 coin.
Maybe a bit more to someone who appreciates its "coolness factor", for despite being a relatively common coin with a modest catalog value, it is indeed cool looking. I like it.
You won't get rich off it, but it's a keeper.
