Hello, I would call it toned, but there are those who might say otherwise.

Thanks any other opinions

 

The coin is definetely worn. You can tell by Pres Franklins hair. It has not details whatsoever!

 

it is toned, -- all circulated coins do. but it is also worn. maybe ef-40 or little less.

 

I think you need to study some history---Franklin wasn't a President

yes worn but toned

 

I would agree it is toned but worn.

 

That coin is both worn and toned. It is very rare to see an untoned coin that has wear, as wear generally indicates the coin has been handled, and exposed to various surfaces, which is going to cause toning. This might be a fairly crude explanation though.
