I think it would be in the XF range... Looks like recent abrasive rubbing on both sides....

They're actually old abrasions recently revealed. There was some crud around the devices, so I gave it an acetone bath via low pressure airbrush to remove deeply embedded crud. It's had nothing put on it since.

Here's the same coin before the bath. The denticles are full of debris and around the date, and the wreath on the reverse.

Maybe AU53. Even with the abrasions.
