I'm OK with XF but not so sure it's been cleaned. There appear to be possibly hairlines, but no evidence of what that brushing removed. Nothing in the nooks and crannies. You don't get all of it with a brush without leaving marks visible in any imagery. Where's the residue?

Here's the packaging for the coin, listing AU 50:  I need to work on my photography on these shinier coins...I think the coins tend to look better in person than my pics make them out to be. But perhaps AU 50 is a bit of a stretch on this one! |

I think it's been cleaned as well, for a circulated coin that old to have no toning at all raises a big red flag.

Yes, I just checked the coin again and it looks MUUUUCH better than these pics...I'm not sure what is going on here but it's even hard to believe it's the same coin as pictured. I'll try to figure out how to capture the real look of these darn things. |

Maybe a mixture of bad cleaning and good cleanings + dipping?
I would agree with XF Details cleaned, but wonder about the nooks.

Initial thought was: high VF
Using Photograde I'd agree with XF

Here's a more accurate pic of the obverse although still not really all the way there. The only change is lighting, trying to capture how the coin actually looks in person: Before:  After:  |

Another pic of this one...lighting does really make a huge difference in how these look:  |

I still agree with the cleaned consensus. The hairlines mixed with weakness around the stars just throws red flags all over the place.
