If you "found" it, I would expect that it is circulated. Given that and the grease fill I can't see how it would get an MS designation. IMO.
It was a learning moment. I don't think Penny has a collection.
I thought the same thing. I have had coins in albums that looked much different on the rev. And Randy @Randy Abercrombie has a good point. Some...
I'm feel sure that it is some kind of coating. But, would someone only coat reverse?

The OP initial question "...should they be discounted..."? Everything that is for sale anywhere in the world is discounted to the point where...
