Very nice! ED doesn't hurt it much at all. Wonderful eye appeal.

Very decent type coin. Lots of detail and the ED isn't too bad. The reverse rim hit might have been enough for a details grade even if NGC gave it a pass for the ED.
Liberty Cap collectors often have to make compromises to acquire an acceptable example!

I had a comparable coin years ago. I bought it raw and had it slabbed; it came back VF detail like yours. I later sold it for around $650. You should be able to get at least that for yours.

Not all details coins are equal. This one has really nice eye appeal. That one's a tough critter in any grade. It has a market, for sure.  |

Most times you would be hard pressed not to find a details colonial coin. John1  |

Yeah, as "ED" goes this is certainly not bad at all. Nice coin.

The scratch going through the coin is less distracting than the large rim bump on reverse at 3:00 to me, I don't see a lot of porosity that is usually associated with coins of this era. I like it. A good example of why details coins can be prime candidates for your collection.

Agree. If the bump were on the obverse, it would be a deal-breaker for me.

I had to light-up the pictures considerably to see what is going on. From what I can see it is a nice example and the light damage fully within the range of what I consider acceptable for early cents.

Values on early coppers can vary greatly. For example, a collector seeking the S-59 variety would likely pay more than a type coin collector.
A case on point was my showing a 1799 large cent to a major dealer. He offered 3k for it which I declined. I submitted it to a major auction with a minimum bid of 5.5k. It didn't sell. About a year or so later, a dealer offered me 7.5k for it. He had a buyer who'd give him a profit on it. Lesson ... a scarce coin's value can change significantly from one day to another.
