<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nightowl, post: 734208, member: 18614&quot;]It looks like a metal detector find to me....one that was lying with the obverse facing up....which exposes the coin&#039;s obverse to more acid from rainfall. I have dug mercury dimes that had one side really nice....and one side pitted. Usual treatment for those is a soak in tarnex, and thumbing to try and at least make it look like a coin again. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s my guess. Anytime the surfaces are that damaged....I&#039;ll pass. On the other hand....if I dig one in that condition, I&#039;ll still take it home. I have an 1891-O seated dime that was in a house fire. I ought to have thrown that one back into the hole...but I still have it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn&#039;t want a coin with &quot;Grady&quot; from Sanford and Son on it anyway. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nightowl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
