@ikuna, it looks to me like there is some typical weakness of the strike on the rev around STATES but I believe that is due to it being directly opposite the thickest part of Abe's bust and so the metal tends to be a little insufficient. Otherwise, I'm only seeing circulation wear. Is there a specific area of interest that you have noticed with the coin in hand that isn't coming through in your pics?

It's hard to tell, but there don't appear to be be grease issues, so I'll say wear & tear.  |

Looks like a really worn coin.

The coin features are not sharp. That is why I am asking " Worn of Grease. Both situations would kill the details. The coin look looks fairly decent at a distance. The sides are not damaged so that is why I posted it. I am getting another scale soon to investigate if the planchette was thin.

Okay. These are the daylight pictures and the clearest that I can get. Firstly let me share my observations. 1. The coin is not dirty nor filthy. It is very clean. 2. The lack of features does not look like wear and tear because there seems to be a pattern blocking the details. If you look closely it looks as though some thing got over the features of the coin. All that I have illustrated is based on my observations along side my awareness of when a coin is dirty, worn or even dipped in a corrosive chemical. I ask nevertheless, base on what you guys see on these new pictures; still give me your opinion since I respect everyone here and their experiences.     |

Well my initial thought, spend it.
However, can't blame you for wanting to check and double check what you have. I experienced that recently.

Unfortunately, where I live there are no grading and assessment institutions or company. In situations like this it would be nice for experience people like you guys to see the coin in person.
Nevertheless I have learned a lot right here in coin community.
