I don’t think I actually finished my thought earlier but I have wondered when grading coins, dug coins are kind of different. For example one site says a “good” level coin shows years of circulation and most features are nearly erased. I’d say this penny actually has pretty sharp features but it’s obviously been through other harsh processes and it’s masked under verdigris and a stubborn crusty brown layer… I suspect that most grading sites aren’t accounting for dug coins but I’ve never known for sure how to grade it

IF that coin graced the desks of any grading company it would return to you simply graded
"environmental damage".

So... in other words.... it would not be worth even considering grading.

Beings coins are a part of my knowledge... and the grading thereof ... you can take my opinions as you like.

Makes sense to me, I kinda like them with that green patina myself but it does make the coin difficult to read unless you wet it a bit or hold it at an angle to the light
