Is this worth the $57 I can get it for? Or should I stop hesitating and grab it while the grabbing is good?

This would upgrade the one in my collection by about 30 points, if not more.

Looks like a large 5C and it doesn't take too much of one to be worth that money!..Coin grades at more than that..It does have a cool look to it! Probable VF25...Maybe details?..Enviro damage?...Good Luck with your buy

VF-25 but it does have some surface issues.

I agree with the others on the VF-25 grade. Given that grade, I'm not concerned about the minor scratches. It would be better without them, but the coin was in circulation for probably 10 years, so it's to be expected. The Gray Sheet numbers are $70 for Fine and $90 for VF, so $57 sounds okay.

It might details grade due to the very rough surfaces (look @ date, & @ denom. on reverse) but at the price if it is attractive in hand then I think it is an okay deal.

If you are keeping it raw snatch it up.

It isn't in the TPG value range to make it worth a submission at that price, though.

VF-25. If this is in fact 30 points better than the one you have, we'd love to see it!
