looks to be harshly cleaned not much value sadly

 

Really? Just looked incredibly circulated to me

 

Heavily polished, no premium.

 

Neat find! It's still nearly a 100 year old coin that you found in circulation.

However, based on all the unnatural looking pinks and violets (especially on the rev), I'd venture to say that coin was in the discard pile of a coin doctor's experiment.

Mannn everyone always bursts my bubble lol

 

Hey, it's a fun find! Enjoy it. Surely you didn't expect it to be a sweet F15 with no problems.

Lucky guy!
