VF30. I don't see the cleaning.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Ok- liver of sulfur. I'm not familiar with that. There's definitely something going on with the surfaces. I'll give it an acetone bath and put it on some wood on the windowsill for a few months. Someone on this forum (I think Coin Frog) supplied that idea a while back for a natural retoned look. It works after 6 months or a year.

I would agree with others on grade (VF) and this is authentic, it looks to be a DDR WB-9, WB-102.

@Heymikep: What should I look for on the DDR? Lettering? Motto? Thanks

Liver of Sulfur

It's a commercially available preparation of potassium sulfide used to create a dark patina on silver (jewelry, etc.) and other metals.
I had to look it up.

Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

After 3+ months on the windowsill. I tried to take pics in the same light. They're more or less accurate. I think it's improved. Just thought I'd share my not-so-scientific experiment.

Looks much better. I think a TPG will still "details" it.

Looks VF to me. I think it would straight grade all day long.

For comparison.

I think it's a good-looking coin, especially after the windowsill treatment. No hairlines, no corrosion, strong remaining detail, few contact marks, and generally positive eye appeal. I wouldn't have any problem seeing it in a righteous VF-25 slab.
