Slightly overstated value.

7.50-11 in value.

It's somewhere between fine and extremely fine condition. Has some pretty obvious wear to the right of lady liberty.

Philadelphia mint, and no branch mark.

Still a nice find.

Wouldn’t 7.50 be too low? That’s literally the value of the silver alone.

Not necessarily. Depends on who you're selling it to.

Shops specifically, and those just looking to pay basement prices, would definitely offer that amount.

They'd have some room to argue the point too. That wear spot is pretty significant, and there's general wear smudging many details. Don't see anything on it that makes it a particularly valuable coin, so.

Remember, something is only truly worth what someone else will pay for it.
