These don't usually sell for a huge premium, even when nicely toned. I'm going to guess $45.
I would say VG details, environmental damage. But these are not my specialty. You'll need to wait for the colonial experts to get here.
While the possibility may be intriguing, it is not an RPM. The shape and thickness of the curve do not match the shape of the D mintmark. It is...
