This coin does not seem to exist in a state of conservation inferior than XF or superior to MS 63. I classified the copy seen in XF in the category heavyweight, since it weighs 1.49 grs more than the normal copies. However, it is very likely that copies weighing 8.00 grs exist in XF. I gave an estimate in this state, for this type weighing 8.00 grs because nobody had yet dissociated the two weights and cgb.fr sold this currency without specifying its weight heavier than usual.
If you have a more worn copy than the known minimum conservation state, remove aproximately 30 percent for each lower conservation state. In the opposite case, you probably have the best known copy, as long as the coin is not sold, we can not know what price will be obtained in auction.
