Ok so I'm walking down the sidewalk in Albany, NY. I'm almost done working for the day and I'm looking down as I often do for anything somebody might have dropped that might be of value. This has been something I've always done (and I'm sure many of you do as well) and it has paid off a number of times usually its paper money. Something shiny and round catches my eye and forces me to take a step back. It's in the patch of grass between the sidewalk and the street. I bend over and reach down and I pull up this...

I have them in their new home. Anybody know how to grade these? ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1433461068.053381.jpg there is a small ding on the edge (pictured)...also does this coin appear to have been cleaned? Thanks ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1433461222.484841.jpg

Probably grades Good, but it looks pretty natural, doesn't look cleaned.
