Want to ask opinions about this being the real deal. It does have hairlines, so I assume cleaned. also does have luster, and the funny thing is that at certain angles you can't see the hairlines, and seems almost semi pl.

Looks real to me! Too bad it's been aggressively "conserved".

From the pictures only, it looks quite OK, but
if wish to investigate further, check it very accurately for weight, to nearest 100th of a gram.

Agree, looks genuine but harshly cleaned, and the weight would certainly help.

The coin appears genuine. It is a type 1 obverse and reverse with a large S mint mark that were all used for the date.

funny question,the coin looks like it could have been whizzed. If this coin became a pocket piece would it diminish that look over time? I guess to make it look less cleaned and hairlined.

Looks real, but harshly cleaned. Using it as a pocket piece might help a little but, but you'll reduce the coin's grade in the process. Unfortunately, this will always be a details coin.

Looks good to me, but any TPG would slab it as a "Genuine" grade more then likely...or details for sure.
