Looks like a nice coin but photo lighting is making it hard to see the surfaces.

It looks pink red instead of orange / brown / red which is likely to be cleaned in the past.
Unless there are better photos, this conversation is a pointless argument of "subjectivity"

@Thecollectible, I do not know what camera or technique you used for your photo, but I think the other posters here are expecting an old coin in high grade with "natural red shade" that you mention should look something like this:  Probably your coin looks like this "in hand" but the photography technology you are using is not showing the true color of the coin

The Hu-Peh coin in question is pitted and buffed to heck, it's so obvious a blind man can feel it. Any other opinion or it having "original lustre" is mere fantasy or delusion.

These is certainly not cleaned coin because three letters of ASH in CASH that changed to purple shade and the natural original luster along with slight rainbow toning shade were covered up by white light showing on scans however will send it for coin grading certification and let wait for the result and show everyone another coin first

The new photos confirm it is a cleaned coin.

 For sure the new pictures confirmed it a cleaned coin. Its like this, Ya have a old car and it has Rim Damage, Pitting, and a Dent in the side panel. So ya polish it up and ya keep peeping out the window every morning in hopes if turns in to a Ferrari. But NOPE its still a beat old Pinto station wagon  >>

I would like to write 30 words without commas, but I cannot. If I could, this might be a coin that is not cleaned. But surely, there is one authoritty in the world that will grade this one as UNC. And someone to buy it as such.
