VF or higher, remnants of extreme bronze disease. (The effected area was carved out of the coin - a rather extreme response). Grading ancients is different from modern coins, remember. This is a tough one because most of the design is obliterated.
ok, thanks.... looks like i still need a little work on grading ancients.... how exactly does a coin get bronze disease..? thanks, stainless
Nothing was carved out from this coin. This coin merely had a weak strike, obvious on the reverse as well.
