So this coin currently resides in a ICG genuine holder. It has issues that's for sure.

Just curious what everyone would grade this coin and then what they would net grade it to, due to its issues?

    Looks like F12 to me. Hard to say about value, maybe net Good? I do think it looks better than some posted I have seen here that are barely visible in the date.

    Hard to tell from photos of course, but it looks VG10 to me with scratches.

    Fine details, scratched. Maybe it’s just the images, but I’m wondering if the coin’s environmentally damaged, as well.

    Any of these with a full date and are not acid-treated get a tip of the cap in my book regardless of any other "issues".

    VG-8 details.

    Fine 12 details, scratched, environmental damage, net Good 4. Because the coin has a very clear overdate it is going to have considerable demand from collectors who can't afford a problem free specimen.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Porous. Maybe came out of the ground. Not gradable due to damage.

    Looks VG10, but downgraded to G-6 due to damage.

    Looks like the whole coin was acid treated. Somebody would still want albeit at a much lower price than a non details coin.
