Any thoughts? Possible grade? Value? Thank you in advance! Chaz

    smooth green patina/corrosion. May be a metal detecting find.

    I hope you didn't buy it. The coin appears to be harshly cleaned, among other things. I wouldn't touch that coin without wearing sterilzed gloves.

    You can restore the color with a sulfur/Vaseline mix.
