Yes, I concur it seems a bit too much of a "blazer" but it was part of the remnants of a collection that was part of an estate, and certainly none of the other coins had been obviously cleaned, and many of them were certainly candidates, so while that proves nothing, I don't think it was this particular collector's practice to do so. I will say that if cleaned, it was certainly dipped, I see no evidence whatsoever of wiping. In MS, dipped coins often pass through without getting tagged with a "details" annotation, but a specimen with some obvious high point wear such as this may not receive that benefit of the doubt.
