1883mo-Mh-8-Reales-Mexico---Grading-And-Value

Seller is asking $60. I feel like that may be a bit high. I offered him $50 but he won't budge. It's a pleasing example but I see a few on ebay that ended in the $40-$50 range. Does anyone have an idea on grade and value? Thanks.

Common issue, nothing intriguing about the dies, and doesn't appear to be the more scarce overdate type. That said, I don't see ny obvious flattening of the eagle's claw grasping the snake, so it may well be uncirculated, and the bit of toning is encouraging. The sort of specimen for which I wouldn't be too concerned about overpaying $10.

@Lucky cuss:

Thanks for your opinion. The coin is nice indeed. However I just checked and Krause Lists the coin at XF: $22.5 UNC: $100.
So I mean, there isn't a value for AU. I don't think the coin is UNC, I believe there is wear of the eagle's belly and the high points of the wings. Still AU-55 isn't out of the question. Do you think $60 is a fair price? Shipping is Free.

All the high points I zero in on - the eagle's claw (as mentioned previously), the snake's body across the breast, and the snake's body where is crosses the lower beak - look good in the photo. There might be a hint of wear on the upper left (as you view the coin) wing joint, but that's also a spot that can be weakly struck. Unless it has hairlines in the fields that aren't showing up in the images, it appears to be an awfully high grade example to me.
