Got this bad boy for free today from a friend.

Please grade this coin for me. I know it has some verdigris, but it has been in a plastic holder for a few years. I also just bought some Verdi-Chem off wizard coin supply and will use it on this coin when it arrives.

The "LIBERTY" on the head band looks much more legible in person with a loupe. Could not catch that photo well!

The headband is largely defined below LIBERTY. Ribbon/hair definition is in the VF range.
It's hard to see what part corrosion might play overall, but definitely VF details.
