I get it mox, personally there are too many hits and rub marks to make AU IMO. However, I don't have the grading experience you do, nor the experience grade this type.

I have a hard time grading gold because of the reflections in the pictures. It's hard to see the surface details.
Maybe I just need more practice.

I'd say a solid 50 or better.

AU-53. Coin was cleaned but they probably gave it a pass.

What do you see, that makes the coin look like it's been cleaned?

The wear on coin looks AU53, but not seeing any luster AU50.

Lack of toning and dull color/luster is a usual sign of an older cleaning on a coin this old.

Would $705 be a good price to buy this coin?

All the auction prices I've seen for this issue in AU50 holders run about $1,000

What's the grade? That helps us give our opinions easier.

Looks like an XF45 to me. $705 sounds fair if it straight-graded by PCGS as a 45. As noted above this coin appears to have been cleaned and that hurts the eye appeal so it should be a low-end 45 price wise IMO.

Recent auction prices for 1835 $5 straight-graded by PCGS as XF45 have been $800 or better.  Edited by Scarp9603

So far, it's the best mix of price and quality that's compatible with my budget.
