    From those pictures, yes, I would say the coin has been altered sometime in the past.

    Some of those gashes on the obverse look pretty harsh.

    This wouldn't necessarily "grade" at a Third Party Grader such as PCGS, however it does appear to have VF details and is probably worth somewhere in the $10-$20 range.

    I'd say, maybe vf20, but it was cleaned.

    thanks again...this is another from the great grandfathers collection...he didnt collect much of strong value, i got like 4lbs of wheats, this, the half dime and a couple merc's...id say the best coin i got is a 1909 vdb that was buried in the wheats and that is not in great shape either

    But I suppose there is a sentimental value attached, and that is even more important that monetary value. :)

    Oh, I'd call it a VF25 or so. Probably cleaned, but a lot of them were so, it would probably be in the $15 range.
