I was wondering if this coin had been cleaned. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yes, and quite harshly by all appearances.

If it was cleaned, how much is it worth?

it's a real shame. The coin has AU details but has been harshly cleaned as stated. This will affect the value substantially. At least 20-30%

The coin should still be worth about $140. I paid $55 for it.

I probably would have bought it for that price, keep it in your pocket for a while and let it wear off the whizzing?

Just don't forget it's in there and drop $3.00 in change in your pocket.
