I'd say anywhere from $100 to $450, depending on the grading. Good thing for you the coin seems to have little wear on it. What's going to take away from the grade is the corrosion.

I'd highly recommend sending it to PCGS for grading. Nice coin btw!

Very Nice find! Can we have a story on the dig? Thanks for sharing!

I dont have much of a story besides finding it in a ball field where I also found some flat buttons and one Massachusettes button from the war of 1812.Possibly a farm previously.HH

Probably not worth sending to PCGS since it has the lovely green color of corrosion that copper coins sometimes get. PCGS (and most other TPGS) will not grade coins with corrosion, so you'll most likely get it back in a body bag and still be out the fees.

The corrosion also will have a very negative affect on the value. Still it's a good looking cent and a nice find.

Congratulations!
