Here's the NGC listing for this coin.

Keep in mind that these are "book" prices and actual sales are generally at lower prices. The best way to find a more realistic current price would be to find a recent sale on an auction site such as EBay etc. Personally I would grade your coin about MS60, but this could vary by evaluator and it's not easy to do from photos.

​Thanks alot. So according to your approx. valuation, the list says: 1700.00?
How can I distinguish this 1866 coin from the less valuable 1866 coin as listed above that one?

Edit: I presume that it takes time and effort to learn to grade coins, but I would like to learn a bit more about it. Any reading recommendations?

Best regards

Sorry, I don't know how to distinguish the varieties. Actually as a first assumption I would assume it's the more common one. You'll have to check into this issue for this coin.

There are many sources for coin grading standards; here is one

If you do a google search you'll find others.
