Did you acetone the cent or anything? THat looks a million times better than the seller's pictures.
Still not sure that the coin is original to the holder. Look at the flattened out obverse rim at 3 o'clock and the corresponding damage to the reverse rim at 4 o'clock (they line up because the dies are rotated). There does not seem to be any corresponding damage on the adjacent aluminum.
Here's a thought. The coin was supposed to be struck into an earlier holder but the strike failed and the coin was damaged. Rather than waste it, the manufacturer just put it in a new holder and struck it into that.
Please send me copies of your full front and back pictures.

What was your opinion of the VERDI-CARE treatment?

It worked great! Had the eBay picture looked like this I would have bid on it.

I don't usually mess with or tamper with coins, other then acetone.
I use it sparingly but this VERDI-CARE seems to work great on old copper.

And now for something completely different, a 1943-S Cent with "ungraded grade and uncertified certification, in MS/PF64!"

Interesting old school "slab" that includes a photo of the coin.
