This coin does not seem to exist in a state of conservation inferior than AU or superior to MS 63.
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.
Cgb.fr notes for the coin in photo ''nickel'', it seems however that it is about maillechort.
Medium bust: the ears touch the circle, the point of the blow slightly protrudes from the circle.
Large bust: the ears and the point of the blow come out of the circle.
