TPG GRADE: AU details, corroded/damaged. EAC GRADE: XF 45, Skudzy, NET 15 I grade it eighteen dollars.
How does natural corrosion produce circular pits like that? They look to my eye like the kind of bubbles you'd get from a cast copy.
I pretty much agree with Leadfoot except the DELIBERATE damage to the left of the date would cause me to net it lower at VG 10.
Excellent question! I didn't mean the large circle. I agree that's PMD. Here are a few dug coins I have, one with similar corrosion. I am certain they are genuine.
