Hello,

This coin looks really beaten up in hand but looking closely it does have quite some detail left what do you think about it?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like some one tried to turn it into a brothel token to me. The obverse has VF details.

VF details. Cleaned. PMD on reverse will reduce value significantly

Probably cleaned, crud or possibly corrosion both sides, and what looks like deliberate scratching on reverse. Not for me.

If you got it for free or a couple of bucks or so, ok. But definitely don't buy it imo. Coin has a lot of issues.

VF details, appears graffiti reverse, rim dings and corrosion. I don't think this has been cleaned; I just think it hasn't been handled properly. Hand oils.
