It is au details. I felt it may have been cleaned but not polished. There were hairlines but they did not seem to be parallel but more erratic. It did not have that sheen of a polished coin. The coin did cartwheel a bit. That is what confused me a bit.
My first gut impression was that it was cleaned and I don' know if I was trying to convince myself it wasn't.

Dom, I was beat to the punch, always, a day late, lol..If you look under the Obverse lettering at between 10 and 2 o'clock you will notice a different looking "shine or lack of' meaning below the word Pluribus, there is a distinct looking difference in the details, this coin was cleaned and if you look in the right places, you will find it, your skills will only get better with time and more practice, good luck, ....
