She's a little banged up but I would like to get grades and opinions from other CCF members. Thank You.

She looks kinda bright as if she was cleaned or dipped.

I would give her an AU50 based upon wear on the feather tips, hair above the brow and the ribbon and leafs on the reverse.

Then again it may be a weak strike.

My first thought was, kinda bright (cleaned,) and has some wear. I think the dings/rim hits might bring it to "details" also. AU details.

I'm pretty sure it's not cleaned. One of the things you have to take into consideration is the fact that this coin is Copper-nickel not bronze so that's why it looks "brighter" than normal. They were actually called "white" cents when they were first introduced.

I have an 1859 that kinda looks like this one with that kind of color and I have always considered it cleaned. I'm at AU details as well.
