That's a very unusual coin.

Rim and denticles are incredibly mushy or just outright gone, but the strike is strong centrally and even the stars are well struck. Slight MAD, perhaps, or a more severe die error/strike error.

Gradewise AU53 but the rims worry me.

I'm at 55 straight. Don't see evidence of cleaning. Nice coin.
