I would grade this coin as Fine-12 and I don't see any problems. How would you grade it, and do you notice any defects that perhaps I've overlooked?

The coin has all of these vertical and horizontal lines which are quite disturbing.
Oh, wait, these are JPG's DCT squares :).

Yep, looks F12 to me.

Nice original patina on a fairly-graded coin. I think the color on the reverse is toning, but a quick acetone bath wouldn't hurt this one; I don't see anything the acetone would remove to the detriment of the look.

Agreed. F12 - the small rim hit on the reverse between 1 and 2 does not take away from the eye appeal.

F12 super coin, I don't see any issue with the green, I believe it's natural toning from an album or paper envelope. I see no PVC or other gunk on it, I wouldn't touch it, looks great as is.

Nice looking F-12 with album toning. The rim bump on the reverse does not detract from the eye appeal IMO. I bet this coin looks much nicer in hand too! Congrats!

Nice problem free F12. Looks like some clashing in the reverse shield.
