I have no idea.
I went to a dealer and asked him what he thought it's grade was and he said it was VF-35. but when I looked at his coins of the same year his looked worse than mine, but he graded them at EF-40.
here is the pic.

It might look like it's cleaned but I think it's just the glare.

I'll try to take a pic without glare of the obverse and the reverse.

Does anybody have an idea what a VF-35 Flying Eagle cent is worth?

Every book I have looked at has VF-20 and EF-40 and nothing in-between

I am looking at slabbed PCGS and NGC VF-35 Flying Eagles on ebay. Prices range from $95 to $175. $175 is a bit steep, but the $95 one is an decent price.

ok thanks.

After looking at the PCGS photograde, and with all your help I have concluded that my coin is VF-35 and worth about 80-100$ thanks everybody.

The level of wear merits VF-35 but I'd be bothered by the shallow old scratches which would likely cause a "Details" grade at a grading service. Maybe it's just your photograph but the obverse surface also looks uniformly granular. This could indicate a further issue with "environmental damage", a.k.a. corrosion.

Doesn't mean you can't get $80-100 for it on ebay!
