Picked up this coin a few weeks ago, and not sure what to make of it. The reverse is rotated 30 deg, but not sure if it has been whizzed. Also, scratches on the reverse are confusing, as they seem to be more on the background. Any comments?

Can't tell from the pics.

It does have a slightly polished look to it.

Doesn't look whizzed though.

I don't think it was whizzed, all of my 1858's have that same rotation though- I think the coin just has an old cleaning

Coin seems to have been cleaned and has a nice rim toning. I'm thinking about XF for grade.

Looks cleaned, VF-30 or possibly EF-40 details.
