I don't know where you guys are getting AU details from ; The coin looks cleaned ,rim damage and environment issues ,
and slight to moderate wear .I say VF-30-35 .** If the top of that reverse shield is wear which it sure does look it than AU is totally out of the stratosphere .

It would be a nice coin if it wasn't for the environmental damage, I agree with the above: AU details.

I'll go for XF details coin. It has full liberty, but the wear on the wreath, feather tips and high points of cent and shield really pull me down to XF details. No matter what the coin is not visually appealing so I can see how Tony goes to VF, but the full Liberty pulls it higher. I wouldn't pay XF Details for this coin though, I would pay less.

Thank you Helder for having my back ; And I certainly would pay AU-details for it . Besides not looking it's best this coin has a few issues that would not be present on an AU IHC .

AU details. Not sure the damage can be reversed.

The obverse looks like it has been scraped harshly across a rough surface, face down. (A floor find would explain that.) IMHO, it is a details coin, but not ED. I see it snagging a 98 code, damage. The damage seems to be more dominant than the ED or cleaning.

The reverse is interesting. There is very little wear or loss of detail on the ribbon and lower wreath, but the upper wreath and shield lacks detail. The lower obverse shows some flattening, especially on the truncation of the bust. I wonder if this flatness is because of a hard contact (ball peen hammer?), as much as wear?

Overall, it looks sort of EF-ish details. Certainly can't beat the price, though!
