As this coin is in a later die state, with the date stronger than LIBERTY, we believe the correct sharpness grade is "G-6", though that may be of little consideration in light of the surface quality. The fact is that this dark coin is rather moderately afflicted with corrosion, but more importantly, the eye appeal is significantly impaired by disruption of the right edge, caused by some sort of impact damage that has raised metal on both sides. On the reverse, only "TED STATES OF AMERIC" is readable, though the denomination is mostly present. Only ghostly remnants of the denomination remain. EAC 1.
