I just got this today. I had always wanted a little fish scale Three Cent piece. I think I got a good price, but I also think the obverse has been clean and maybe even the reverse. Here are some pics, I am sorry the ones without flash are blurry.

First two pictures are with flash and the second two are without flash.

With the details this has, considering also the defects, what type of value does it have?

Nice trime! I am looking at photograde on my ipad to aid me because I do not have a lot of practice with the Three Cents. I would say the VF20 looks closest to your details. Looks cleaned.

You can look up prices on http://www.numismedia.com. A VF 20 would value at $56.00. I think that with the cleaning and scratches the price would value at about half that IMHO.

I have seen too many of these with holes in them, which unfortunately reduces them to junk. At least, this one is far better than that.

VF Details - cleaned. I'd value it around $15.

Harshly cleaned and damaged, unfortunately. It might be VF details, but I doubt it's worth more than Good money.
