This coin was harshly cleaned; it's certainly not a proof or uncirculated. Looks like VG details (cleaned).

Definitely not proof. This coin was cleaned or dipped or soaked or something. I'm not even sure if it's real.

Agree with the above you would be lucky to get a F grade out of that coin.

I'm sure the experts will chime in but to be a high grade coin I think you have to be able to read LIBERTY on the head band looks like a business strike to me

Not even remotely close to uncirculated - other end of the spectrum actually. Harshly cleaned in the past

At best VG sharpness, but in this scrubbed conditon, worth maybe 20 cents on a good day.

NONE of my coin have ever been cleaned not in the last 6yrs other then me wiping them done with a microfiber rag. I may be green but I'm not soft in the head. Maybe its tha flash or film of tha card board thing that they are in I don't know. I'll try adjusting my lighting better but I'm almost certain that it came out of this broken historical set I have here it looks like the other coins in the set started corroding....

With due respect, your Indian cent is well worn and has been severely cleaned at some point with no collector value at all.

Take it to a coin store and see what they offer, if anything.

You are clearly new to the hobby and do not understand how to grade coins.

I won't waste either of our times debating this further. Good luck!
