That coin has certainly seen a lot of circulation.

I wonder who is the most famous person through whose hands this coin may have passed?

G-4 maybe G-6, I see a full rim on the obverse. and some detail left in the hair, not much but some! No bad scratches and no sign of harsh cleaning, nice coin!

Obverse is VG8 but reverse is probably G4 so I'll say net grade of G6

I think this coin has more hair detail than the photos are outright letting on; in a G coin the bust would be worn flat right?
