With these photos it would be a crap shoot, unable to see the surfaces clearly.

Cracked out from a Details slab and sold as "problem free" raw coin?

Looks like a trace of wear, I'd say AU details, scratched and possibly cleaned in the past. Still, an attractive coin and probably retains more value than your typical details coin.

Great learning this, a beauty but still details.
Already at 300s. Problem with a problemcoin is that when one sells it you have to find one that doesn't see the problem as a problem

I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Had it at AU details. Sold for a big chunk of change!

The fact it's not in a TPG holder is a red flag for me.

The OP is from Sweden, and the photos look typical of a world auction. TPG certification is mainstream in the United States, but has not yet gained the same popularity in the rest of the world. So raw coins in world auctions should not be a surprise.

My experience with European auctions is that you have to be extremely careful and take the information with a grain of salt. More often than not, the coins are cleaned/altered even though the photos may not show it.
