Hi Marty,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Coin values can range quite broadly depending on their grade, which is something that requires in-person evaluation by a specialized coin grader. Mearto doesn't provide that (additional) service but what I can give you is a broad range of what this coin might be worth (pending grading) and let you decide if its worth the expense of getting it valued. It's also a question of authenticity - look at this website: https://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins.pl?coin=1604
