What would you grade this??
I found it out metal detecting about 6in down in a tin snuff can. that is why it is has stains on it.

VF 20 - cleaned - obverse rim ding at 11?

 

vf35-xf45. Does look cleaned though. Nice find Jello!

 

I could only imagine finding that metal detecting. How exciting!

 

I am going to guess that it will come back geniune

 

Detail wise I'd go a low VF ( 20-25), but this a problem coin. It certainly is worth over melt value.

I'd say about $25 would be a fair price, maybe a bit more, but I'd rather have a Good/vg coin with no issues.

 

The "blob S" mintmark is almost comical.

 

that's an understatement of the grandest proportions! This coin has been harshly cleaned.

 

melt is close to $14...I think about $25 on a bidboard type of thing or ebay is about right, $20 should be no problem. I wouldn't pay much over $15 for it, I don't like it so I'd have to re-sell it,,,need some profit margin.

 

I'd grade it damaged & cleaned.
