ASE that was maybe a pocket piece for a short time? Maybe a stacker stacked and restacked it?
Worth melt, it's had a rough life so far. Awesome find if you picked it up from a bank or somewhere for face value.
Collector, occasional seller
Many buyers would buy it at a discount because of its poor condition. Bullion buyers of those want them pristine and white.
Has a fake look to me...
look at the "LL" in dollar
At first glance it looked fake. I don't really know.
An authentic ASE should weigh 31.101 grams. How much does yours weigh?
Looks like a well beat up ASE.

Beat up 96,
they still sell, but when I get them this bad, i sell them as generic bullion
I'm seeing a fake as well.

Looks like a fake that has been artificially aged to conceal it......Cheers, RickO
I figured a pocket piece or Chinese fake with their proprietary aging process applied.
Time for a magnet test and scale.
Send it in for grading.
I'm thinking that ain't silver.
Looks like a fake ASE. DO NOT send it in for grading. Take it to a LCS first.
Sorry, but that would be a waste of money. The coin is damaged, circulated or counterfeit. None of those outcomes would justify the grading fees and shipping.
@BillJones - sorry I should have used an emoji like this one:
then you'd have known I was being silly.
