1814 Large Cent Grade?

I believe the reverse has been purposely sanded down, and may have circulated that way. Honestly ungradable IMHO.

Obverse is an easy G-06. Reverse is ungradable - as there is absolutely nothing to grade.

My grandfather had coins worn on one side more than the other. He gave me the coins before he died. I asked him why some were like this. He told me he had had them for a long long time. He traveled a lot and carried everything he owned in his vehicle. He said he thought the coins that were worn only on the one side were on the top of the container he kept them in. Pill bottle sized containers with different sized coins stacked in with a lot of room to wiggle. A lot of the middle coins were completely smooth. The top coin was smooth on the "bottom" but the "top" looked ok. He drove back and forth from Arkansas to Washington State to pick apples for many many years. He just knew the coins were old and worth keeping but didn't think about the damage being slowly done. Back in the 30s the drive from Arkansas to Washington was a lot of gravel and dirt. A LOT of bumps. He kept everything he owned with him. These coins were some of them. So, I guess the moral to the story is, you never know why some coins look the way they do. Yes, Grandad ruined some nice coins inadvertently, but such is the life of a coin. I have these coins somewhere but I can't find them at the moment.

Thanks for the opinions everyone and thanks for the cool story, jpbone. I'll be sure to keep that in mind while packing up my coins for a 800 mile road trip this winter. I like coins like this because of all of the stories they could tell as well.
