Hi welcome to the community, this looks like a cleaned coin. The haloing around the devices indicate as much. I don't see dmpl. Looks to be AU-50

Yeah could be cleaned . If it was cleaned had to have been close to issue date, its been in a box in attic since early 80s

I'm thinking in the upper AU range but possibly polished.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Yes 1880s they were my great grand fathers, given to grandpa, then my dad now me. Just deciding if it's worth getting graded

Very few people can say that they have something passed down from their great-grandfather. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I suspect it's been cleaned/polished at some point in the past. Grading would be tough on this one--low to mid AU I'm thinking.

Definitely cleaned/buffed. Not even worth slabbing at all. Still a keeper though, since it's silver.
Errers and Varietys.

AU details, cleaned/polished. Only worth its silver melt value.

With the family history, I would buy some generic slabs from Wizards Coin Supply and label it as such.  to CCF |

to the CCF  this is a circulated coin that has been cleaned. Its value lies in the silver content and family history. |
