I don't think so but it never hurts to get a second opinion.

Does not look cleaned in these images, but they look like Civil War sepia shots. Try different lightling.

I don' think it's cleaned - maybe pocket shine.

Is that the true color? Has nice eye appeal.

Does not look cleaned, but the color is odd. Perhaps your lighting?

To me it looks like a very circulated coin that someone tried to prettify by cleaning.

Yeah, there is a little bit of a patina break in the right obverse field, but it's not what the 3PGers call "cleaned"
