Would you pay more than $50 for this 1819/8 1c?

  $50 seems like a good limit.

  I wouldn't buy it. I want nice coins for my collection, and buying a $50 cull instead of waiting for a problem-free XF example that would cost ca. 10x more is not good collecting strategy IMHO.

  You'll be happier in the long run if you avoid problem coins.

  I would pass on the coin. Problem coins are hard to sell - and for me, they keep me awake at night. Hell, I've got some NGC cents that wouldn't cross to PCGS plastic at the current grades and I can barely sleep knowing they're not good enough for PCGS.
  
  If you really like it and you can afford $50 for something that will be tough to sell, go for it. But you gotta like it at the price.
