I would like to hear some opinions about this Coin. I think it is the Block S, by the way it is positioned to the left. The Coin's surfaces are fairly rough, so getting good images was a little tough. I also saw there is a broken S variety for the block S. Thanks!

Looks like a badly corroded coin that was stripped with lye or a similar chemical compound.

It does look like a small block s but I'm not sure if there's a premium for one.

Thank You! From what I gathered the block S is a little more scarce of the two mint marks for the 1873. Only 455,000 total mintage for the 1873 S SLD.
