Monkey around with contract and exposure and it starts looking like a cast.  |

That was my thought also because of the stars on the right side. Whizzed?

You can google cast Morgan dollar and see many examples. Yours seems to have too much detail for a cast copy. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Whatever you paid for it, it was too much.
Poor thing's been badly abused by someone.
That orange peel on the cheek is hugely unnatural as well.

sadly I have to burst your bubble and agree with the above comments. because its such a common coin at higher grades I don't think there is any collector premium above its silver value. hopefully you didnt overpay for it and if you did maybe they have a return policy.
until you're able to discern a cleaned coin (which can take years) I suggest posting here prior to pulling triggers, get the feedback, and add that to your knowledge base going forward
if the coin was assigned a grade it would be UNC (details) cleaned

Is whizzed lumped in with cleaned?

Whizzing is done with a high speed wire brush to remove part of the surface and imitate chartwheel luster. It was a real big issue in the 70's to take EF or AU coins and sell them as CH BU. I would prefer having a cleaned coin over a whizzed one any day.

This is a $18 coin, and would he a hard pass from me.
