Your coin IS genuine, what is questionable, are the surfaces. Most TPG's, would put a "details" grade on your coin, which means, after the problems, would be the "net" grade or, overall grade in their eyes. The FMV of your coin would be effected. For example, if that is a scratch, your coins value will be reduced substantially. swcoin.ecrater.com

"Your coin IS genuine" meaning it will grade "Genuine" because of a problem, or you saying the coin itself is real?

Trace, he is saying that your coin itself is real but would not receive a grade from PCGS due to an old cleaning.
Here on the message boards, we call those coins "details" so AU-53 details would mean that your coin is authentic, has wear consistent with an AU coin, but shows evidence of any old cleaning or other surface damage.

AU-55 details. Obverse appears to have an older scratch and the surface appears to have been wiped or rubbed. Still a coin with razor sharp detail and one I wouldn't mind having.

Yes, your coin is real.
Overall, it has fantastic detail and very little wear.
It's a very nice coin, and anyone would be proud to own it!

I see light horizontal lines running side to side in the fields on the obverse. Those lines stop at the lettering and eagle. Turn the coin in good light to see if you see that.

Not whizzed dude, just cleaned with something abrasive. Whizzing was done with a high speed wire brush from center out to try to create a cartwheel luster. It does look like a very old cleaning based on the tone.
