What your thoughts of this. Looks like it is about fine but not sure if it is details. Maybe looking kind of woody?
Just real quickly the reverse looks AG on the perimeter and G nearer the center and the obverse looks VG. I see what you're focusing on, the graining, and I think it's kind of cool. Looks like it was in the ground for a spell judging from the corrosive look. Large Motto. It's got character, I'll give it that.
Looks pretty corroded and scrubbed; especially on the reverse. The images may be playing tricks on me though.
