I think this one might reach AU50. I don't see any signs of cleaning, some luster remains.

AU55 easy, if you catch the graders on a good day you might get AU-58.

That's an EF45/AU50. The dipped white surfaces are meant to fool folks into thinking it is a CH AU or even MS. There is far too much wear up and down the leg for anything higher than AU50.

I have to agree with Tom B. When I first saw this coin I thought it was XF-45. I'm putting together a set in high circulated condition and feel there is just a little too much wear on the head, breast and leg to qualify for AU. I can't tell if it's cleaned without seeing it in person.

I am relatively new to serious collecting and am having trouble figuring out what makes this appear that it has been dipped. Of all the graded SLQ's I have seen in the xf45/au50 range that are marked "improperly cleaned" they all seem to have a very noticeable dull gray/silver color. This coin has a lustrous shine with slight yellow toning. I thought that the solutions people use to clean these strip away toning and luster. I compared it to some of the current SLQ's on Heritage that are graded in this range that were "improperly cleaned" and this doesn't look like any of them. Am I missing something?

Your coin has the typical weakly struck flat head, shield etc. It may have been dipped at some point but not cleaned. It's a very decent coin and no doubt AU in my mind.
