Okay guys and gals, I know this has some substantial damage and wear but I'm happy to have it for now, being my only one. What are your thoughts on a grade (details) and what value would you put on it? Thanks in advance!   Side question: what's going on with the top right of the last 8?

AG3 details, environmental damage.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Technically, I'd say G-04 details (environmental damage, rim damage). Value - maybe five bucks tops.

I'm happy with that. I can't say really how much I paid because it was in a lot with other denomination coins.
Taken as a percentage of face for the lot and what I paid total, I came to paying about $0.20 for it.

Realistic value: $3-5
Antique mall price: $30
Was at an antique mall last night. Saw some approx. $60 (realistic value) Capped Bust Halves priced at $175 & $195 each. Apparently someone is buying since antique mall display cases aren't cheap.

Thanks everyone for the input! In regard to my second question, I was curious if it may be an overdate because of the top right of the last 8. I don't see the tip of a 7 and there is a ding around where the die chip marker should be. I don't see the broken wing feather so I'm left wondering what that actually is. It is definitely raised metal.  Edit: I couldn't find the answer directly but, are 1858/7s always large letters? In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I've got a use for your wheel cent there, Crazyb0. Take 3 other modern pennies, drill a hole through the middle, stick an axle through 'em, and boom! A few more steps and you've got a penny car.
