I buy coins often and every now and then I like to check in and see if I’m doing ok. Thank you for taken you time to reassure me.

Although the Obverse teeters on VG-10 and the rim ding doesn't help either, the coin which is a Cohen 13 Variety with a known weak strike on the Date, should be worth around $150 give or take $10. However, if resold, I fear that it may not fetch much over $120. I hope you came out okay on the purchase!

Would rather have copper over a token any day!

I never found a copper hence why I buy them. Found some late 1809’s French Quarter saloon tokens in my time. A copper would blow my mind....very very very rare to even find a LC in these parts.
