Has to be a 1953 NSF near leaf or a 1953 SF far leaf. Not too sure how he can tell, but either way it's a darn shame.

sorry I didn't show the date. yes if you look at the "I" in DEI you can see it is a shoulder fold variety. And after comparing it to many of the more common,near leaf/far leaf varieties , I am sure it is the 1953 shoulder fold far leaf.
Could it be the missing chrome variety? only missing chrome were all that rust is.

I have hunted in 90 degree weather at the end of September, and I have also broken ice to get onto a marsh at the end of September.

Does that help you?

Unfortunately these coins were made with chrome and steel, both are susceptible to corrosion over years and years.
