Looks like a VF20. Also you might want to soak it in some olive oil for a couple of days and rinse with distilled water before more of the obverse dissolves away.

Thanks. I'm soaking it now in olive oil to remove the harsh weathering from the coin. Maybe I can get a couple of bucks for this one.
Say $8-$12? I'll check the PCGS Price Guide and ebay.
I'm leaving some tap water in a cup next to the coin in olive oil. Will that tap water distill in about 5 days of sitting out, or should it sit longer?

For water distillation check this link:

Or you can buy it by the gallon at the grocery store.

A rinse with acetone may remove what looks like PVC damage around the rim:

It's worth $9 on the market just in the silver content, so no worries there. Good luck with your soaking efforts. Hope she looks like a beauty when you're done.
