Hi All-
Thank you for all of the great feedback, and expert opines on my previous posts...they have been very helpful!
This coin is in a "Genuine" holder, no details grade....thinking of sending it in for a details grade...thoughts on what that might be?? Also, for bonus points, which Cohen #?
Best regards, RJ

    Billjones, Thank you for the post, in your opinion, is it the type of coin worth owning for for "GOOD" money?

    It really depends upon your budget, both now and what it might be in the future. This coin is at best a filler. It is not only corroded but also damaged on the reverse. It's the kind of coin you might regret owning years from now because you might want something better. Unless the price is very low, you might end up losing money on it.
