1871 3 cent - AU Details - Whizzed - What do I do with this coin? What is it worth?

Short story of this coin: I bought it at a junk shop for $50 bucks.  Did not know it was whizzed but given the price the seller probably did. 🤥 They did not tell me it was whizzed.  Sent it to grading for $25.  When it came back from NGC I had to look up what whizzed was! (I'm a new collector, only in this for about a year.)  So I'm not out a lot of money.

 

PROS: I'd never be able to afford this coin were it not whizzed.

CONS:  Having said that I'm pissed 🤬that this coin was whizzed since even is piss poor shape its worth good money.  It just did not need to happen.

 

Anyway… now what?  Can I even sell this?  If so, for what? (PLEASE NOTE: I would never sell this without telling someone it was whizzed.  I have no plans to take it out of the case since it authenticates it as real and AU details which are a plus in my mind.  I'm not sure I want to sell it.)  In my spreadsheet, how do I value this?

 

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance.
