I've had this coin for awhile. Obviously a key date. Purchased as part of an inherited collection.

My initial estimate at the grade when I first acquired it was VG Details due to the corrosion. I think it may well be a ground find.

I've been re-organizing and took another look and figured I'd get a second opinion on the grade. I also now recognize what looks to me like PVC contamination and given the details nature of the coin I think it's worth an acetone soak to try to mitigate it.

Opinions appreciated.

I'd say you're correct.

I agree. I do like how it has a circulation cameo.
