Actually, I agree with John. If the OP is looking for a grade, then there is not enough detail sharpness and light on the fields to make a solid judgment.

Well, while not having the very best photos, the coin likely falls in the high AU range--maybe reaching MS61. Better photos would yield better grading assessments.

AU, way too good to be considered a parking lot coin, even if found there.

Apologies to the dudette! I'll say AU-58, reverse scuffs are apparent. Unusual find but just a spender. No further pics needed.

And this is why I won't come to this board anymore you can't get a straight answer from some people are supposed to know what they're talking about, all you just a bunch of smart butt remarks. Grow up boys! I'm not posting anymore pictures on this board.

unfortunately the coin has received some road rash. obviously the coin has been circulated. since the lighting is a little much the coin could be AU details or UNC details. in any case worth 1C but decent shape for a coin almost 40years
