C4M, in hand under lighting with magnification from 5 to 20x, I see no evidence of mechanical cleaning, hairlines etc. Nor do I see evidence of chemical cleaning, removal of old toning etc. there is a little gunk of the type that looks like it would come off with acetone, but I have no plans to do that.
To me it looks like this was stored somewhere for a long time that protected the reverse while leaving the obverse exposed to both physical abue (more nicks, dings etc) in addition to picking up more toning due to greater exposure to environmental conditions.
As said, I'm happy with it for a raw coin. As a general practice, I don't buy slabbed coins, nor do I send coins for slabbing. I intend to buy the remaining CCs raw as well.
Thanks for the feedback, I always appreciate hearing everyone's thoughts here on the CCF.
