What would you grade this and what is an estimate on price?

I would offer VF details - corrosion. That obverse appears overly porous and the rim is dinged (likely a dug piece). As far as value ?

I concur with SeatedNut for grade - strong Fine details at least. As far as value, were I buying I might spend $35 to $40 if I saw it. Depends how much I had to have it at the time. =) I do like these coins (though I'm not buying them at the moment).

Thanks for the replies. I was told it is a worn snow-8 clashed with the quarter... (not from who I bought it from) Do you see it? I can get some bigger pics if need be. I do see some clash lines mostly just to the left bottom of the T in CENT and through the NE of ONE. I paid $25 for it so I would not be bummed if it isn't. Thanks again for the help... You are helping me learn something outside my comfort zone.

Ah, nobody has responded yet...

Very cool! Well, I can tell you that I can't see what you're talking about from the posted pictures, so better ones would help.

I feel you did well at $25. =)

I'm thinking a strong Fine as well. Absolutely love the Flying Eagles, but they're hard to come by, especially at the higher grades.

F12, may go 15. Looks like some rim issues as well.

I also would go f12 on this one.
I'll have to check my vast collection of these to check for the weak ES.
OK, it's too worn to tell.

I compared this coin to about 40 auction photos. I believe it is an F-12 corroded with a market value of approximately $15.

I specifically looked for evidence of the known die clashes before seeing the reply that you thought it had one. I didn't see one - but will double check my books tonight and match up the pictures with your example to try to see what you described.
