Some of you may have seen this coin posted in the pocket piece thread, but I was wondering what you would grade it? What type of damage does this coin have?   Again sorry for the bird in the obverse image, I'm trying new photo backgrounds. |

G-04 Details. Cleaned and corroded. Good idea for a pocket piece.

Good idea for a pocket piece. What would that do beside wear it down some more? |

coin has corrosion that is not repairable. Too many other inexpensive large cents out there that would be more desirable.

 with both G details and corrosion with high probability of being a metal detector finding. |

In hand I think the obverse grades G-4 and the reverse AG-3, although the corrosion makes it hard to distinguish wear from environmental damage.
