Very nice F12 indeed! It appears someone tried to clean it at on time but fortunately did not completely go through with it. great addition to any IHC collection.

Nice coin though!

Fine seems to be the right grade.

I agree with a details grade of F-12 or possibly as high as F-15. However, I'm with CuprousCoin that this coin has been cleaned. It's not hairlined that I can see, but the lighter color over all the devices and letters seems pretty unnatural to me.

Regardless, any IHC with a mintmark is a very cool coin.

I also agree that it was probably cleaned sometime in it's life but for the price it was a good deal it was marked $65 and I got 25% off so it was only $48.75
