What would you grade this one? Seller photos. Does mint mark location look okay on this one?

I'll say Fine Details, reverse corrosion. Not an expert, but the mint mark position looks fine to me.

AHAHAHA...here comes the contrarian!

MM looks right, check the position yourself online. It's even posted in CC forums if you search.

I actually like this one, very original looking surfaces. I only see one moderate to heavy corrosion spot on the reverse, it looks thin to me. I think it could be improved greatly with some VERDI-CARE spot conservation. I've worked on many of these, the corrosion tends to shrink - as the outer ring verdigris is thinner. It usually gets thicker more toward the center. I don't think it can be fully removed, nor do I think it should be - but VC would shrink, inactivate and darken it to where the coin would be OK. Corrosion a good bargaining point!

The reverse strike is a bummer, the rim is malformed and it also affected E PLUR and the wheat lines. Filled die? I dunno, the error guys can give you their ideas. It looks like Blakesley Effect but this is not a clip.
