It's an 1848 large cent.
Pretty blurry photos
Some obverse damage K11
I'd value it around $15 tops.

How much is the seller asking for it.
That would determine whether to buy it or not.

Sharper pics needed, please. These are pretty much useless.

I'd pay $8 for it. Common coin.

Even though the photos are blurry, it looks pretty decent. 15 for sure, maybe 20 shipped max.

Agree, this one would probably sell for $15.

obviously blurry photos are difficult to assess a coin however this is a common date braided hair large cent. its hard to see if there are any major issues that would cause the coin to receive a details designation (some sort of post mint damage). there looks like there may be an "X" across the jaw line and something happening between star 5 and 6 which we would call K11 using a clock. the mark across the jaw could detail the coin meaning the value would be significantly less than the book value. I think the coin may be in the F15-VF20 range. An unimpaired VF20 would retail for about $35-50. with the 2 issues noted cut that in half for a retail value. I'm pretty much in line with everyone else regarding what I would pay for it. i'd say $15 tops. i'd rather have one that does not have issues so I personally i'd pass.

Even though the photos are blurry and any details are difficult to determine...I'm thinking that it might squeak into atleast a fine condition. Here's a link for you to help determine price but, you definitely should try to post clearer photos so that we can better determine condition. https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explor.../1848-1c-ms/ |

I'll point out that there's a whole family of large cent counterfeits out there. Even though it's a low value coin, that doesn't stop them. Despite the blurry image it seems odd to me that the crosslet on the 4 doesn't appear. Perhaps it's the images.

Without an example in your collection, this might just be a good start for you ... $10 max IMO
Good Luck !
