It is KM#936a, copper plated steel. Plating issue.
So far they have been mostly cents, the oldest 1961 and the newest at 1991. I have found 1 worn out dime from 1984. I sorted about half last...
An alternative to Numista: Go to NGC homepage, Resources, Price Guides. They list a range of prices per condition and other info. To navigate...
The second of 8 known, the top coins are circa 1987, will be sorting soon, I will update with any earth-shattering finds. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
…and I would like to add, go to VamWorld.com. Be careful you don’t overwhelm yourself when you do, there is a mountain of things to read and...
It’s a KM#3, 1901 was the last year of mintage. Lists for $24.00 USD in Fine condition…your coin is not Fine. At grade Good (understood...

@gronnh20 …thank you. That actually helps me put things in perspective…Spark

You should know this by now. The hair is die deterioration. The rest is corrosion and damage. This is what you end up with…for goodness...
Looks to be VG8 or so…NGC lists this grade and date at $215 USD. Take a bit back for the damaged N/ONE and you made out very well…best guess is...
MS60 at best. Too many device and field flaws for higher.
Spend it. The advanced level of circulation damage disqualifies it for any value beyond face value.
Probably a die crack. If you can have die chips between the B and E to make a “BIE”, it follows your die crack can be too. I ruled out a die...
Borderline keeper. The overall circulation wear to devices and fields is significant. The corrosion damage also severely diminishes the coins...
You need to provide a close-up.
@Sunbird …do you have a stove? Water boils at sea level at 212 degrees, which should be hot enough for soaking grime off. What you don’t want to...
I voted MS65RD.
