Hi all, I need some advice on grading this coin. I don't know how to factor in the marks. Thanks. Bill

Agree with BadThad. That was a nice coin until the corrosion attacked her! Man, she was tucked away somewhere for many years with little circulation. Is that original mint luster on her?....I think so!  !

i really dont think it has any intrinsic collector value. the corrosion is just to much on this coin. it would be body bagged at a TPG.

OK. Unfortunately, I don't know its history. As far as I can tell, that is original mint luster.
Thanks.
