Seems to have a lot of verdigris.
Obverse shows evidence of abrasive cleaning.
It would end up as a DETAILS coin.

it has a lot of crud, and it is probably corroded under the crud. Probably 'details' as expressed.

F15-VF20, Repunched Date N-3 R.2, looks like pvc gunk that acetone might be able to cure. Those streaks running through the coin might be an Improper Alloy Mix error or they could be a harsh cleaning. Once you get the coin you should be able to tell right away. This coin has a few problems, but should clean up nicely.

VF25 details. cleaned and also someone cut notches around the reverse rim. the bid price at around $17 is the most you should pay for it. you can do better than this. 1848 is a common year that has a lot of nice VF+ examples available for a good price.

its not the greatest example of that year but not the worst. At that price I think I can resell it here locally for a small profit.
