Since you said it has 1 problem that prevented it from straight grading then I'll stop looking for other not so obvious issues and say details-cleaned and retoned. It could be AT but that I can't tell without seeing it in person.

Not very original, but cleaned and re-toned is the best I can do.

Edge filed and/or smoothed at 13:00 on the reverse?
That is what I saw.

Perhaps mount removed see two areas of discoloration on the reverse rim at 1 and 6 oclock.

My vote also goes to the rim damage.

I see what everyone is looking at but I'm still sticking to cleaned, AT. Possibly it had putty applied which gives that golden brown appearance.

Not sure about that rim. I'll go with AT, questionable color.

I am in the AT camp, but the coin was cleaned and retoned. It is not a coin that I would buy because of cleaning, rim dings and strange color.

I bought a problem free coin at Heritage Auction on Sunday and was amazed on how many detail coins were up for auction.

I was thinking too much! I should have just gone with cleaning.

Can't wait for the next one.
