I searched and revisited a few topics in CCF on 3 Cent Pieces, Proof vs Business Strike. I think this is a circulated Proof, but I am not positive.
I am looking for help from the experts, and also a grade.

Thanks for any help! RK

Looks high AU to me, don't think UNC. Doesn't look like a proof though.
Rest in Peace

CCF members were right on the money with this one!

I was disappointed on the details grade. I looked up some PCGS slabs from a prominent dealer and they were far worse and in non details grade slabs. oh well, here is the results.

Corroded?

That is certainly some harsh grading. It doesn't make much sense to leave in that holder except for protection.

Why was it graded as corrosion? I don't see it as corroded. Did you ask Anacs?

It has a few black spots, which are not unusual for a coin in this grade, but I'd hardly called it "corroded."
