I found this coin the other day for a couple and cents and was pretty excited. What would something like this grade as? XF 40? Thanks!

    Nice coin! I'd say VF here.

    No more than VF20. Far too much wear for XF.

    Probably a silly question but would any of you get this graded by NGC? Seems like a scarce coin and honestly I think it would look great in a holder. I can't find any online in a NGC slab.... Can any of you find anything?

    You might consider an Airtite holder for this coin. I like the protection Airtites provide and you can view the coin easily and even take it out of the holder if desired. I use them.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    F15. Not even close to XF.

    This coin is obviously not fully struck, and that is mostly NOT wear, so would not ding it that much. I could certainly go VF30.

    Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
    Well, just Love coins, period.

    Hmm very interesting may have to submit this one out of pure curiosity. Still trying to find any graded examples to compare.

    I think 7 Jags is closer to the mark re the grade.
    The value of the piece may not make it worth slabbing however, a few dollars at most from my cursory lookup.

    Ehh at a 40 NGC list says $125 but it's actually quite rare, honestly I have been trying to find one similar online for awhile and can't find anything. I just think it'd be cool to have it in a slab for my own collection, but maybe I'll wait awhile.

    Apparently the 1857 is more rare than the 1858 but if the source I looked at was correct, tens of millions of these were minted. But I haven’t looked at other sources to double check.

    It is true that the mintage says tens of millions of this date were minted but this date is actually scarce. I doubt you can get $125 for this since for this date collectors are only interested in AU and above. IMHO this coin is not worth slabbing and can try selling it raw. As for the grade would say VF.
