A very original AU/Unc “slider”, probably put aside within a month or two of entering circulation. Virtually no wear with a bright Obverse, a bit of light toning on the Reverse at center, indicating time spent in a coin folder of some kind (the glue used in these tended to tone the Reverse side of many of the coins housed in them). This actually stands a chance at certifying as a low end Unc. The services tend to give these a “mulligan” at the MS-60 to 62 grade levels, excusing minor signs of circulation as planchet roughness or light handling if the coin shows enough luster. Not worth it for me to try as I believe that this belongs in a coin album, however if submitted I will guarantee a certified grade of at least AU-55. I am hedging just a bit as all the services have tightened up radically at the end of 2023 - this would normally come back AU-58. 0131-02
