This coin does not seem to exist in a state of conservation inferior or superior to XF.
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: ''Tin casting. The obverse of our essay is substantially identical to the obverse of the 20 francs Louis-Philippe, bareheaded (types F.524 and 525). The reverse is inspired by the 2 1/2 cents of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (coin mint from 1854 to 1908).''. I obverse described by cgb.fr is here on the reverse description.
