I'm guessing your pics represent the coins color better?

Horrible seller pics. Too much flashback, bad angle, and they scream" this coins been cleaned". Looks like he was trying to mask the surfaces and try to get some faux luster there.

That being said, Based on your pics, I would say it had an older cleaning but would straight grade at what others have said, VF30-35. Price is a bit more than I would have paid for this one, given its surfaces and eye appeal, but not OVERPRICED. Just my opinion.

I took them with natural light and made sure they were not blurry. Was all I was concerned with for the most part. I guess my pics are representative of someone not trying to hide anything, lol

Uncleaned, that coin would go for around $550 or so.. so I think you paid a fair price...

To be completely thorough... Below are two additional pictures I just took as the coin currently sits. In the coin album under florescent light.

The last pic helps. Revise my guess to borderline xf, technically a little too much wear on liberty but close. Looks good in an album, a fine example of type.

CDN retail price for VF35 is $494, $572 for XF40 so I'd say you paid a fair price.

I had to used PCGS Photograde to get a better comparison, it appeared to be in VF-25 obverse and VF-30 reverse.
Price you paid for are fair.

Decent looking and obviously cleaned. Wouldn't bother to send to TPG. Price you paid is ok. Enjoy it.

VF30-35. I would say that there are better values out there. I am looking at it from the point that the coin has some issues and I prefer coins that have original surfaces. Yes they cost more and it takes some patience for them to appear but they are definitely worth it. This is especially true of Liberty Seated dollars.
Here is a very nice example of a 1846 XF that sold recently
