VF30. looks like all of the original surfaces have been stripped off. when I see a dull coin like this my first thought is that is was overdipped, however, this can be attributed to bad lighting and photograhpy

Ok you asked for it . That has got to be the most dullest lifeless V-Nickel I have ever seen . But you asked for a grade : Obverse VF-20 Reverse VF-35 (Net 25+).

I think that's the photo lighting. It will most likely look much better with NS's photos when the coin arrives.

with IGE. I'm guessing a modest mid VF but the coin can't be as sad as those photos.

Ok that's established ( it's the sellers photos ). I on the other hand would have ran away after seeing those pics ,even if I needed that date there are better examples of it out there for around the same price .

bandsdean was right. The coin was corroded and it looks like it was tooled to smooth out the damage. Seller accepted the return.
