Other than a small spot it's a real nice coin VF.30. It's harder to find that type of coin without errors than it is to find one with errors.

Super hard coin to find - that's for sure. I'd go VF details net price around VG10/F12, due to damage on obverse (scrapes on face) and surface damage or corossion. Even though it's a tough date not worth paying much over $130.00

I made a bid for $100. The other 6 coins might have a value of about $20, so I hope I'll win.
Thanking about what Verdicare would do to help the coin....worth a try? Will of course practice on junk before I use Verdicare on this particular coin

Just got an email back. I won the auction.
I thought it was a blind auction that my highest bid was what I was going to pay for it. But no, the amount I have to pay was about $1 higher than the second higest bidder.
So, the winning big is....$55!
I'm pleased;) I love getting a rare coin for a bargain.

Thanks. It's a great feeling getting a great coin for a fraction of what it's worth

You scored big time on this one. Nicely done!
I'm also in the mid VF range.

Where does one find these governmental auctions?
Also, wouldnt that stuff for removing verdigris be acceptable for use here (edit: I'm not talking about removing the spot, just the green stuff)?
