I won this on ebay last month, had terrible seller pics, but it has reasonable sharpness. Still a details coin for corrosion, but not too bad for the price. The first photos are the seller pics. Your grade opinions?

Yes, it definitely has some pretty bad corrosion, especially on the reverse. I was also thinking VF details. Thanks for everyone's thoughts.

Just wanted to update this post. Since this coin was pretty corroded, I thought I would try some conservation with Verdi-Care. I figured I had nothing to lose. Still corroded, but I think it looks better. The bottom photos are after 24 hours with Verdi-Care on each side.
