Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 11/08/2008 1:39 pm Hi Roadrunner welcome to the forum The coin looks to be VF-20 or 25 details the damaged reverse will hit the grade fairly hard . IMO the grade should look like this VF-20 damaged , but with the net grading it will more than likely look like this VF-20 details net grade damaged VG-8 Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 20059 Posts	Posted 11/08/2008 2:21 pm Looks F15-VF20 cleaned and possibly damaged. I'd soak it in distilled water and then xylene to see you can remove some of the crud. DO NOT RUB, just soak. Welcome to CC! Lincoln Cent Lover!

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/08/2008 11:40 pm The cleaning and/or damage notwithstanding, I'd go VF30. The obverse has a shot at EF but the reverse holds it back. The reverse looks like a different coin. A lot more wear and varying color. I'd still go choice very fine but it's puzzling.

billyb351 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 11/10/2008 9:18 pm I think this is probably a F15. However, if it was sent to a grading service, I would expect it to come back as Damaged or Cleaned. The reverse sort of gives it away because of all those long scratches across the surface. I think, at least the reverse, was harshly cleaned/scrubbed at one point. The scratch that goes right through the "E" in "STATES" is one example of what makes me think this coin was harshly scrubbed.
