this is an 1820 large cent. I believe this is the "20 over 19" variety, look at the curl on the 2 and you can see the 1 underneath it. what do you think this is worth?

The following link is a step-by-step tutorial teaching you how to find the value of your own coin.

Coin value is based upon how much original detail and/or luster is left on a coin. Coins degrade in circulation from being handled.

Step by Step tutorial for the answer to, "What is my coin worth?"

BTW:
Grading companies use no scientific standard for grading. People paying companies for opinions of their people who have handled a lot of coins.

Thus a graded coins broken out and sent into the same company can come back with a different grade (therefore slab-perceived market value is fickle and depends on the label of the slab, not the coin).
Common grading company shortcomings & resulting co$tly mi$take$ to collectors (using Kennedy No FG halves):
