  I think that it is a Newman 16-N. If it is, it is an R-3, which would make it a fairly common variety.
  
  The sharpness grade is Fine or so, but the piece has rough surfaces and uneven wear as a result. Price would be in the Good to VG range.

  That being said, it's still a nice collectible example of the first coin issued by the authority of the United States.

  Newman 16-N looks like the correct attribution to me. Also agree that this piece probably will grade genuine. It is still a nice example of our nations first cent though. Congrats!
