The coin has rim damage as well as hole issues to the face..a small issue at bottom left of his bust...also above Liberty looks like extra metal and immediate left a small glob of metal. The reverse also has a hole type under United andbetween the top of roof. Coin real dirty and not sure whether to clean. Many thanks for looking Report this Post to the Staff

norman02 Valued Member Switzerland 90 Posts	Posted 08/05/2022 03:04 am Thats what I wanted to know as I am not a fervent collector, as yet...but had the feeling from reading other posts that this may be good for the junk yard. Better to find out first before you clean it and it is something special. Well that was my thinking. anyway thanks guys for your valuable time in looking Report this Post to the Staff
