I think this is the lightest acid soaked coin I've found, coming in at 1.43g. Still can read the date, which is remarkable given that over half the coin is gone.

Now you've gone an done it. How many times do we have to say "Don't Clean Coins". Now it will barely grade at AU. That appears to be a large date LMC 1960 ? On top of everything else, the coin appears to be a potential woody.

Yes, a large date. Found two small dates this morning but happily they weren't acid dipped.

Now as for the grade, given the detail remaining I suggest that it was in MS condition when it was dipped, so I would have to go with MS/details.
