Nice problem free example. VF 30/35. Maybe $40.

I would say VF-25 or 30. Lists at $50 in this grade but they sell for less in ebay auctions so around $30-$35.

VF30. 40$ sounds about right.

Thanks for the opinions so far. I was thinking maybe in the upper VF range. The thing that made me hesitant is the weak LI in liberty. Could this be as striking issue? I noticed on photograde the LI can be weak even in the AU range on some coins.
Also the curls at the bottom of the neck seem fairly well defined for VF, suggesting to me less overall wear.

Looking though ebay, for $40, the '49 large cents all seem to have problems such as corrosion, harsh scratches or have much more visible wear. I know VF is in 'guides' for <$40, but this does not seem to match what is out there.

Thanks for the compliments on the photos!

Obverse looks like it could go to VF35. Reverse will drag it down though I would still give it an overall 30. The color is really nice and consistent

Very clean coin - doesn't show much wear. May be weakly struck. VF-35 or better.
