What do people think about this 1909-S Lincoln? It that wood grain toning on the reverse or cleaning marks?

They look like cleaning marks to me, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for your opinions.

I think it looks scratched from cleaning.

Doctored photo. Notice who the seller is, Great Southern Coin. There are threads on their deceptive selling practices, 99% of the photos always look great, hiding potential problems. The coin in hand is never as good as the photo, stay away from this seller. There's a reason the majority of their listings are for raw, unattributed coins.

NEVER spend that much money on a coin unless it's attributed.
OR
You had the opportunity to examine it for real.

POSSIBLE EXCEPTION: You see an a valuable variety that the seller missed.
