 Definitely has a bit of the walking dead syndrome going on in the cheek area  As far as grade, Ill leave that to someone more qualified. The coin has a lot going on which makes it difficult for me to hazard a guess. On a side note, when I was a pup in this hobby, I had one of these in easy AU condition that I let go for $7 before I knew any better  Part of my "learning experience" Edited by JJHFL

VF30 - Bride of Frankenstein variety, instead of using V-Care try Pro-Active V instead. whats interesting is where the neck slice meets the rim you can see what looks like a denticle. this defect may have occurred during the minting process.  |

VF-20 details. Looks like it may be a dug coin. Either way, env. Damage.

IMO, VF-30 details, damaged (environmental). Quote:

The circular pattern of another coin pressed into this one is amazing! (I can't think of a scenario where that would happen during the initial minting process though... Experts?) Edited by Moe145

Moe145, two possibility I can think of. the coin was struck, popped out on top of another coin and was struck again, imprinting the edge of the other onto this one. the other scenario (more likely) I came up with is the planchet was struck and another coin somehow got under the plate before another stick occurred. I dont even know if that's possible. whatever took place its really cool and interesting to speculate as to what occurred.

It is too bad about the environmental damage but she has significant detail and I like interesting rim impression pressed into it.  |
