It wouldn't straight grade due to a harsh clean.
Just worth the metal value

Brutal purchase , that thing is a hammered to death cull coin.
Looks like someone took a mini ice pick to it then cleaned it .
If you paid more than cull price , return it .

46 years as a mail order coin dealer total packages really lost
3 .
#1 Malaysia 1987 , #2 Belgium 2019 , #3 Ohio this year . Total overall value of the 3 pieces that were lost
less than one thousand dollars , half was recovered through insurance.
This is out of many many thousands of shipped items !
This is really , really a stretch if you understand how the postal system
works with tracked , registered , signed for packages . If you did, you would
feel more at ease . You have a better chance of being mugged than losing a package to this technology .

Since they started this in Feb 2020 , sure haven't heard of any theft issues
Based on using this technology . Been used for years in other places
On a scale 0 to 10 ...hardly registers at the zero Mark in my opinion.
But for the tin hat specialists , best ship your valuables in lead lined container.
But then .it was lead poisoning that did in the Romans ..gif" class="inlineimg" alt="" title="" />

This ended with a whimper and not a bang ..as it usually does.
The alarmism these days with social media and news ..amazing
Seems everything gets so over blown these days..
Life was so much easier 50 years ago .
We have worse winter rain storms than this " evil " so called monumental Hurricane 2 to 3 times a year on average .

Tropical storms ..regular weather in winter for the Pacific NW USA
and Lower Mainland BC . We old timers call them " Pineapple Express"
The enlightened gang call them " Atmospheric Rivers "
This will end with a whimper and not a bang ..as it usually does .

No it is not a coin , it is a privately issued commemorative token .
There are Hitler Portrait medals as well but there was never a
German mint issued coin with the terrible individuals portrait on it .
Adolf Hitler facing left to front with inscription, "Der Führer des deutschen Volkes". Reverse has eagle, wreath & swastika with inscription, "N.S.D.A.P Hitlerbewegung Gau Salzburg - Muster Gesch - 1 Schilling Kampfspende". Struck in aluminum. 30mm aluminum. C-18 in the Colbert-Hyder book. They generally sell for 50 Bucks give or take .

Currently have these
1795 1/2 Dime AU50 ANACS
1795 1/2 Dollar G6 NGC
1795 Dollar VF25 NGC
all straight grades .
Interestingly all three acquired on English Buying trips at various
London Dealers .
Would love a nice
1/2 cent , Cent , 5 and 10 Gold .

Milk spots and with all due respect .. you lose .
PCGS will hardly look after this . Royal Mint issue!
A lot of World bullion Silver Coins , and US Peace Dollars are
Notorious for this effect . Due to improper washing
of the blanks prior to the striking process.
Really tough but that is the reality of the situation .

We sell relatively very little in Canada due to online taxation issues ( Ebay & Government ).
What we do sell in Canada .mostly Quebec , Ontario , Alberta .
Virtually zero elsewhere . Laughable really. If we had to rely on Canadian sales
..out of business in very short order .
90 per cent of our sales are to the USA .

Agree with DBM ..no one cares what some uneducated clown asks
For something online .
What is really baffling is when some uneducated buyer , buys the item .
When you see stuff like this move on to something far more constructive.
