I would appreciate some opinions as to a grade for this one. Found CRH.

Too much glare to see surface color and detail clearly.

too much glare from lighting to determine originality of surfaces.

from a grade standpoint the reverse appears to be AU but the obverse looks more like a VF coin. better photos would help narrow this down. do not use a flash or any overhead lighting

I think it was struck from a worn obverse die. I'll say AU-58.

I'm thinking AU55--given the posted pics. Nice album hole filler until better comes along.

Thanks for your replies. That is a pretty worn out obverse die for sure. Not to bad for a CRH .
