I found this today with my metal detector. Appears to be in pretty good shape. (at least the obverse) Can anyone venture a guess as to what this coin would grade? Those are not permanent stains on the coin. I just haven't finished "cleaning" it yet. I know coin experts hate the word cleaning. What I mean is removing all of the dirt. ;)

Here are some better pics of the coin. I looked at the post and they were kind of blurry. Hope these come out better.

I'd grade it FS---Freaking Sweet!

No really, maybe a VF slider. Always hard to tell without it in my hands.

I'll agree with VF as a grade, however I think it would likely get knocked down a few points for the oxidation on the obverse and the scratch around the letter "E" in the word "ONE" on the reverse.

Nice coin!

Believe it or not, I honestly didn't even see that scratch until I took the better picture and posted it. When i saw the picture I said "what the heck?" and then looked at the coin. No big deal though because I have no plans to sell it.
