It looks like there are some marks around the eagle so it might come in cleaned I'll say VF details cleaned and possibly damaged from the digs into the coin on reverse below talons and above FD but that's the worst case scenario. Might look better in hand.

VF details cleaned. if this is listed as AU they are trying to rip someone off or they have no idea how to grade a coin.

Sharper photos with better lighting needed to tell if this one was cleaned. VF-25, maybe details.

VF Details cleaned. That seller is deceitful, their listings on ebay are always listed as several grades too high and often cleaned

Since you already have it you might want to take pictures with more light on it. It does appear cleaned with VF details.

It's nowhere near AU, that much is certain.

Will do, thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm fine if it's VF but they have a 30 day return policy so if it's VF details then I'll prob return. Did not expect au, but a VF details isn't anywhere near advertised .

Just wanted to say that this coin arrived and was returned for a refund. I forgot to take a picture before sending it out but it was abundantly clear upon inspection, even to my own amateur eyes that it was cleaned. Newly, exposed flashy fields. Thank you to all for the guidance provided as well.

Liberty complete but weak, clasp gone, looks like a textbook F-15 to me.
