I have this dime sized, thin coin. Wondering if it is legit and if so what is its grade and approximate value in current condition. It does have some gunk on it that I wish (obviously) wasn't there.

How much (I assume quite a bit) does the "foreign material" affect the coins collectability? Thanks for the help. If you haven't been able to tell, I am a total newb!

Hello and welcome.

It looks legit; the coin was probably dug up from the ground, with the "foreign material" harder to remove than the other dirt that would've been on it. It's possible that it would clean up better, but I wouldn't try doing that myself.

Denars from the 1500s aren't listed in any catalogue I have, but I purchased tree of them about a decade ago for $20 each. They're probably in the $25-30 range now.

Ferdinand I (10 March 1503 - 25 July 1564) was a Central European monarch from the House of Habsburg. He was Holy Roman Emperor from 1558, king of Bohemia and Hungary from 1526.
Your coin is 1544 Hungarian Denar, in this condition 10 -15 Dollars.
