    XF45 detail, scratched obv, corroded and/or heavy verdigris on the reverse. Value of maybe $2-3 I suppose, maybe more the 'bay.

    XF45 detail (scratch) - looks like folder/album gunk on the reverse to me, not corrosion. The gunk should be safely removable.

    Edit: Oh yeah, value - $10

    If this came in the shop, I'd buy it for 50 cents. I'd then put it in the $2 retail bucket.
    I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.
