Hello,

I'm considering buying this coin.
I have some doubts about the surfaces, any opinions about this or the grade are welcome

Thanks in advance

Looks original but hard to tell.
Images are too small.

Grade wise, XF or maybe even AU. But closer pics will be necessary. Look for hairline scratches in the fields as well if you can see it under magnification.

Take a magnifier and look for little vertical or horizontal scratches across the coin if you see a lot of them it has been cleaned or polished.
