    Cleaned harshly and at 7 o'clock on the reverse and at 4 o'clock on the obverse shows edge damage, definitely a low details grade. :sorry:

    That is a coin with major problems. It’s been cleaned badly. It’s nothing I would touch. The buy price should be very cheep, like the price for a Good.

    I'd say low VF details, harsh cleaning, rim damage.
