I picked this up a while back for $10 with a group of Half Cents, wanted to see what you all thought the grade is, it's weird the center is like pushed in as you can see in the picture.    |

There appears to be some damage around the eyes, what does that area look like in hand?

Saying this coin looks good in hand is an oxymoron.
This Coin has major issues.

I paid $10 for it has issues, not a big deal worth a lot more than $10 even with issues.

Also I don't have a blank check book like some guys here lol, some of us collectors can only enjoy to collect what we can afford or like, I've always enjoyed worn coins to me that's history.

I'm at F details also (cleaned, PMD) small 6 no stem variety. $10 can't go wrong with this a straight graded F would retail for about $250 |

Fine details cleaned. Nice find. 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."

An okay coin for what you paid for it. There is quite a bit of environmental damage around the face. Apart from that, it looks intact and not bad. You paid about what it was worth.

I'm actually with @paralyse on this. There is no price too low for a damaged coin. Just my opinion.
