Too few visible copies to make a statistics on the average state of conservation.
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.
Quote of cgb.fr about this coin: ''Struck or cast from the dies made for Napoleon II around 1860 in the Wurden mint. The 1816 vintage was made up.''.
