There are good images, but they don't speak and I can't be sure what you want opinions on. What do you see that interests you?

A full image of both the obverse and reverse would be of great help.

As stated - full pictures of both sides are needed because the rarity and therefore the value depend on determining the die variety of the coin. Full pictures allow us to look for the alignment markers that help identify the die variety. There were approximately 30 die varieties in 1849 - many were common (R1) and some were rare (R5 & R6)

After a quick look I come up with N-5 and R-3 coin and in this condition maybe a $20 coin.

Thank you guys, I meant to say that I cant see very well in my setup & not that I can I'm just trying to help this old lady out & I couldnt really see anything much other than die chips I guess. It's just she said it appraised for 3500 a long time ago when she got it but I'm thinking she got jipped and thats why I am asking for help. She also has a 1819 and 1821 Thank Yall    |

N-5 looks right. $20 might be generous. 1821 is semi-key date for coronet series. Show us pics of that coin please.

Earlier you said the other two were 1819 and 21, now you say 1818 and 1819. A nice condition 1818 N-4 could push the value way up. It isn't likely though, and ut would have had to have been appraised by someone that knew die varieties.
Is it possible the long ago appraisial was for insurance purposes and the appraiser wildly overstated the value? That can happen.
