Keep teaching me. Would you say G-4 / pitted? It's more brown than appears. Took brightness up a notch so you can see details.

It does have vg detail over the majority of the surface with the possibility of weak striking on the lower reverse. A nice old survivor.
Rest in Peace

The details look close to VF. It has environmental damage and is candidate for NCS conservation to prevent further damage.

A similar piece sold a year ago for $1,380!

A prime candidate for a TPG conservation, such a beautiful coin... And great photography by the way, the pics make the coin look as if it's in-hand... Although I could only wish

Close to VF Details. Not sure what NCS could do for this coin. The verdigris has already etched itself into the coin causing pitting. You can remove the verdigris but the pits will remain.

How would I remove the verdigris?
