This will give you a reasonable estimate.

To be safe take 70% of the value listed there and you are probably good on a fair price.

You can go "below" the lowest grade fyi. "G4" is actually a decent coin without significant damage, just wear.

If it has a date and isn't bent it's probably at least AG2 or AG3.
