Oh my! What a beautiful coin!
I see this as at least VF-30, and choice for that grade. Retail book value here for VF-30 is around $5,500, but this coin has strong eye appeal for the grade. IMHO, this is closer to the $6,000 range, which is roughly the VF-35 retail value.
The only concern I would have with this coin is the black spot on the obverse next to the 12th star. This coin may be a candidate for professional conservation by the grading company. They do this as an extra charge, and it could be worthwhile on this coin. If conservation is to be attempted, it absolutely should be done professionally on this coin. It might be worthwhile seeing what others think about conservation. There may be differing opinions on this.
Again, very beautiful coin!
