Just for fun--what would you say? The seller called it "beautiful".
I'm afraid you'll have to call the grade from the obverse...sorry.

As seen on ebay; I did not buy this--just an "academic" question?

Prethren, oh right! Using that definitive guide, I'd grade this no better than CR-0.5:

Quote:
CR-0.5 Coin was embedded in semi-truck tire and driven across the country, rotated with tire and made the return trip. It may or not be round. Caution: sharp edges may be present!
