I don't have one of these and have been looking for a decent example. Have the opportunity to pick this one up for about
$150. Looks like its been cleaned and is retoning to me. Numismedia has this coin at $270 at vf-20. Seems a bit high to me at $150 but these seem hard to find with decent detail for an affordable price. https://www.ebay.com/itm/115664930697

VF-details (cleaned) is probably about right. It's not a harsh cleaning, but you can definitely tell that it was previously wiped.

I'd say VF0-35, agree with above comments.

I knew about what grade and condition. My question was more about price. At what price point would you feel this would be a good buy?

It would be a good deal if it graded straight. Red Book is $250 @ VF-20. This seems to tell me the seller knows there's something wrong with it.

Nice coin, if you don't mind a coin cleaned in the past (I don't overly mind so long as I like the look of the coin) then it's a good deal. The seller states they too believe it was previously cleaned, and since they can see it in person, I'd trust their opinion. I can't tell it's been cleaned from pictures, I'm still learning all the "looks".
