Hi all.
This looks a nice coin but has a few 'cuts' and scratches on the obverse mainly. Would it be EF in Sheldons scale?
Mintage 1,533,000

Lots of verdigris, hair detail flat. VF at best.

Thank Princetane. I thought verdigris didn't affect the grading ?

I know you aren't supposed to clean coins but the verdigris looked like green dust so I blew it with a hair dryer on cool. It removed a fair bit.

Judging by the image just posted I would say that the coin is EF

I'd say EF as well.
