Not counting the enviromental/rim damage I'd say the coin would grade VF-25. It's a beautiful piece

Bone

 

I was gonna say VF as well - details wise. But those shots on the reverse might slow it down a bit.

Nice details on the bust.

What kind of slab was it in ?

 

Im gonna wait for a few more replies to reveal it.

 

I personally feel that this coin cannot be graded properly due to the damage.

 

Fine-15
Net VG-8 due to rim damage.

Still a very nice coin :thumb:

 

I would guess ANACS graded it VF details, Net F 12, Damaged. Personally, I grade it about $50....Mike

p.s. neat cud.

 

I'd say VF20.

 

Yep. I don't think PCGS would slab it... they seem to give more weight to the rim than some others.

Also... the green copper oxidation might disqualify it at PCGS / NGC.

But NCS or ANACS would certainly grade it and give a "details" value... I'm thinkin' at least VF25. Maybe better due to good hair detail.

 

Well it was slabbed by ANACS , VF25 damaged & corroded. Net F15

Thanks for your guesses.

 

VF-30 with post mint damage. Net F-12/15
