### Obverse (front)
**Wear and Detail Integrity:**
The central motif displays significant flattening across the high points. While the primary outline and legends remain bold, internal fine details have merged due to circulation.
**Luster and Eye Appeal:**
Original mint luster is completely absent. The surfaces exhibit a dull, chocolate-brown patina with muted eye appeal consistent with a circulated state.
**Surface Condition:**
Minor contact marks and moderate environmental oxidation are present. The rims show slight smoothing but remain mostly intact.
### Reverse (back)
**Wear and Detail Integrity:**
Major devices show even, moderate wear. Secondary details are partially obscured, though the legends and numerical elements remain clear and legible.
**Luster and Eye Appeal:**
The finish is flat and non-reflective. The overall appearance is honest for a coin that has seen extensive commercial use.
**Surface Condition:**
The fields contain scattered small abrasions and signs of environmental exposure. The denticles along the rim remain visible despite slight wear.
### Grading Analysis Results
**Grade: F-12 (Fine 12)**
