Just wanted to add that the weakness at the peak of the coronet (hair band at LIB..) is seen on almost all examples of this variety ( N-2 ) - this one is actually slightly sharper than many where you cannot barely see the L and I. This weakness is also present for N-2 on the hair curl on the neck and the hair above the ear, along with the wreath ribbon bow and leaves. The "wear" is therefore a die artifact and not circulation wear.

What's the asking price, if I might ask?

Not better than VF-36 sharpness at best.

I've listed it for £600 but I would accept £400.
Edit: changed to 5 day auction starting bid £350. Should sell at that.

You still have plenty of time. I am sure the bids will increase at the end of the auction.
And the coin is cool, I envy you.

Best of luck! I'm guessing hammer price will be about $175-$200 USD

Thank you, I'd be happy with $175 or higher but I would be disgruntled at $125  |

It finished at $172. Not bad and I didn't pay much for it as I got it in a job lot of which I kept a lot of nice coins. Panzaldi, I thought there was a chance it might straight grade, but no skin off my back :)
