What would the grade and approximate value? I've been thinking of buying this for a while and am looking for advice. It is listed at $23 shipped on ebay.

this is probably F15-VF20 for this particular series. much better examples can be had for the same money.

I picked up this one (au50/55) for $28 US shipped

If you like it ,buy it.These two bust and harps
are different but sell for the same money. The obverse
is a little better than the reverse, I would say $15 to
$20,so what is a couple bucks if you like it.

The one pictured is not in very good condition, overall.

These Bust & Harp tokens can be fairly common, so maybe hold out for one in better condition. I would look to pay around $30 for a nice example.

In this case "just a couple of dollars" equals about 200% what the actual value is. Liking something doesn't justify paying double.

If the coin has been available for some time and no one else has picked it up then that should tell you that it's not worth what they are asking.
