Anyone venture a guess as to what this would grade?

Worthwhile checking the date on that one with a loupe , the 1809 half cent has a couple of errors , the small 0 inside the 0 and the 9 over inverted 9.I couldnt quite see the coins date well but theres perhaps something about the 0 worth looking into.

I checked it, the 0 looks funny because there's a little nic on it. Thanks for the tip. Im happy with the coin, was a good price.

I guess I'll be the contrary one here. While I agree that is does have fine details, I also see pits, scratches and corrosion. Value wise it should be priced as a good.
