it may have been cleaned in the early 80s at the latest. notice the reverse damage. it also has a large die crack running from the last S in STATES through OF and AMERICA, and into the rim. what would you grade it and how would you price it?
It looks like it might have a damaged reverse above the mintmark. Also, why would you state it might have been cleaned in the '80s at the latest?
because the 2x2 i pulled it out of was dated 83 and had rusty staples and faded ink. it was yellowed.
i bought them in an old lot that i believe was dealer stock. most of it was "graded" and priced on the 2x2.
i wrote note the obverse damage, brain fart, i meant the reverse damage youre talking about. editing that now.
