Does the date look a little strange to you- the '2' seems very squashed whilst the '5' looks thinner than the other numerals --or is it just a result of wear?
I wouldn't exactly say it's scrap, but it's not exactly a worth book value. The "2" in 1852 appears to be a combination of wear and a weak strike on the lower right from a worn die. A similar wear at the end of "GRATIA" seems to imply this. Obviously the hole diminishes its value, and the thin parallel streaks on the obverse may hint at a bit of cleaning. Just my opinion. Others may feel differently.
