Probably XF but likely netted to VF Details
97 Details AG
I would say VF sharpness, net Fair because of heavy corrosion.
Extremely Fine, corroded.
Agreed.

VG.
IMHO, a coin that is "Detailed" should never be NET GRADED!!! In fact, look around because when a coin is detailed by a TPGS it is often "pushed or not as strictly graded" because in most cases, it really does not matter much.
IMO, calling the OP's coin (that has more details than many AU's) anything less than XF is not fair to the coin. Besides, what does it matter with this amount of corrosion?
The original purpose of "technical grading" was to describe a coin when you couldn't see it. It was very strict to help ID a coin that was sent in again or lost. "Detail" grading as used today (by those who actually apply it correctly) is just like the old technical system. GRADE THE COIN, state the modifiers.
Example: Choice (the old MS-65) Uncirculated, weak strike. This was a virtually flawless coin with full luster that was not fully struck. At the time, the commercial grade for that coin was MS-63 (64 did not exist yet) and NOT MS-65 because the weakly struck piece was not worth Choice Unc money!
Choice Unc, splotchy toning is another - LOL. This unattractive coin with full luster and no marks has terrible eye appeal. It would NEVER sell as an MS-65 but it is easy to visualize.
VF.
VF details... yeah, heavily corroded...

Agree with Insider, XF details. The OP already filled in the corrosion part. PS - nice score if you got a ‘94 large cent in ANY condition for $8!!
I agree with you but there are many coins out there that are done as I describe.
I don't care about the actual grade but that's a Classic head and I like it!
High VF/low XF details
I would say 'Fair' and 'Corroded'.... and I would keep it in my general coin group...Cheers, RickO
