Seeing about a grade here, more seeing if I can post pics straight from my phone.

This is in a 2x2. Paid $15 6-9 months ago.

The obverse brings this down to a G. IMO. Somehow the full date has held on, which is the only thing keeping it as a G as most of all the other lettering is gone. The reverse is solid, considering.

I agree with IndianGoldEagle on that one. Almost good, but just a smidgen away.

I don't believe this could make G-04 with 80% of the obverse lettering unreadable.

I thing the obverse holds it to AG3. Obverse looks harshly cleaned

Fair-2, whizzed obverse or abrasively cleaned perhaps

I wouldn't think it was cleaned, just 160 years old. The obverse is really worn but doesn't look scratchy. Any which way from F2 to G4 I'm ok with. Like I said, I just really wanted one when I learned about them.
