For pricing purposes I am inclined to say G4. That is more based on the other coin 'damage' that I see. Yes the mount had something to do with it but overall the eye appeal says G4 to me.
<< <i>Net G4. No need to be generous when damage is involved. >>
Good point, especially if you are buying!
Seriously though, not sure whether you are buying or selling, but I would use auction records of 1811 half cents, and this scarce issue has plenty of problematic 'net graded' examples to determine relative values from. At least this coin has a good brown color and I don't see any corrosion or significant verdigris.
Oops...sorry...I misread.....VF isn't what I would net grade it.....more like a 6 net graded. I was thinking something else and boffed that response (ignored the "net" portion and just focused on pure and the "mounted" part.

Initial gut check response..... VF
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
<< <i>Net grade, ~VG10 is my guesstimate. >>
I agree more with this than with vf. I am even inclined to net at vg-8. Removal from mounts calls for a substantial downgrade, IMO.

it is worth about as much as this imo with those problems
