A Dealer in Europe has this coin for sale.
However, I surely do not agree with his grades. I am wondering what members here think what grade, based on the dealers image the coin could maximum get from a reputable TPG. (scarce does not play in the grade)
removed the picture and replaced it with a link to the seller and picture.

    AG3. I think Good 4 would be a push.

    Kind regards,

    Ag camp here also.

    AG. The rim is partially gone. Scarce or not it is not a coin to get excited about with that much wear.

    Thanks everyone, it is just what I was thinking but you guys did not say: Not worth even considering.
    I did send the seller an email through their web site expressing my dismay with them trying to fool these who are not aware and believe them.
    There is a holiday today in Europe, so earliest a reply could be tomorrow.
    we shall see.
    It is not the price he is asking! it is for me, and obviously also for you guys, the extreme boldness assessing these grades to the coins.
    I now posted a ling to the seller in my OP.
    There are others they are selling where the grades are "like very loose rubber bands fully stretched to the maximum".

    not sure how ICCS would do with this coin.
    I just received over 100 back from them. As someone said not too long ago: if it is not in Charltons front pages they will not note it...and some of them are listed in CH's front pages but never got recognized for the varieties.

    I guess AG. I think Europe calls everything F/VF, XF, or UNC. Wouldn't want it as "10 Cents" is completely gone.

    AG at best, no way it even approaches F. For grins and giggles make an offer of an AG value if you absolutely have to do this, otherwise walk away. You can do better. Peace Roy
