I find myself with a similar coin ... wanting and hoping for, what would be a valuable grade, knowing its probably no higher than an F12. That being said, once I get mine graded, I'll be sure to post it with pictures. I would love to see yours graded, as well.
She's a beauty !

 to the CCF If authentic, harshly cleaned and likely tooled. Despite the poor treatment this coin deserves to be in a TPG holder albeit a Details one. At least then the next owner can be confident in authenticity. |

The example appears genuine with the raised 3, tilted S mint mark and correct date position. My grade is VG Details cleaned and tooled.

its been tooled VG details (tooled)  with a couple of the others in slabbing it. there is still significant value to the coin however if this was a date I was looking for i'd take a straight graded AG before a VG tooled piece. just my opinion. |

It has to be authenticated by a major TPG. Even in the condition it's in, it's worth significant money if genuine. |

I'd rather not pay grading fees on something I don't want to own, but I don't really see any other option here.

Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole without 3rd party authentication.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
