Agree EF-45, but the lack of obverse detail on such a common coin would be a real drawback to a collector, I think.

EF40. Obverse Struck Through Grease (not MAD because there is no offsetting weak strike on the reverse) -- rev. die cracks at K10-K11. Lots of MD both obverse and reverse.
This is a MDS of Poliquin's P-24 (no Snow # yet; CUD-023) -- in later states the area between the cracks forms a large Retained Cud.

EF40 the die cracks and RPD give it some extra interest.

This also came in. This one didn't have any green to begin with, still it looks like it cleaned up nicely with acetone and verdi-care. Thoughts? Thanks!
