It is a nice looking coin with fair detail. I looked on acsearch and was surprised by the prices asked. Based on what I saw, I would say your coin could be worth $75 - $100. Nice coin.

This one was a $45 purchase. Hard to believe I can get something like this for the same price as an AU common date Morgan dollar. |

It has a very cool look to it (a bit of a pastel-thingy goin' on) ... => nice eye-appeal |

That is a great coin, sharp detail and centered. Mine looks kind of puny compared to yours.
