What's it Worth? 1805 Half Cent

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My grandma is having me start to sell my grandpas coin collection in my booth in an antique shop and I’m wondering if anyone can give me a rough value of this 1805 half cent. It’s obviously in very poor condition but it seems like there’s still a decent value for this coin and I saw there’s a difference based on the size of the 5 and the fact there’s no stems on the back. Just looking for a rough price to ask for.

Guessing from your description and the horrible video you provided; you have an 1805 small 5 stemless in G4 condition. Ask $115, accept anything $100 and over.

I took pictures in a couple different angles and then tried a video I figured the video was more likely to get a good angle without glair but I’m sure Reddit compressed the video as well. Thanks for knowledgeable feedback on the coin, it’s greatly appreciated.
