I'm at EF-40. I'm guessing the glossy look is from the lighting and glare of the slab, because otherwise I don't see any evidence of cleaning.

Interested to know why you mentioned a "Details" grade @joeturbo26.

The scrape across the head is worrisome, can't tell much from the picture. The cheek, jaw and wheat grains are pretty flat.

Well it was detailed as cleaned - so it will make an extremely nice album cent.

Here are the auction pictures just for the heck of it.

My guess is they didn't like the reverse. You picture looks a lot different from theirs. What are we seeing on the head?

It looks like a "smooth" area - it's hard to see in hand, only if you angle it just right. It isn't a scratch or gouge.

Of course. You have a professional photographer who is taking pictures so the coin sells - compared to me just taking pictures to show how the coin looks as best I can.
