Nope, not even close to MS-64. Maybe high AU at best.

As you all know, I am relatively new to collecting so I guess I don't know what a cleaned coin looks like. I might give the new found hobby up. Seems theres a lot of cleaned coins being passed around.. I even learned the other day, that some folks tone their own coins as well. Sad such scammers exist in today's world.

First of all, we all started off w/ limited knowledge of numismatics. For me, it took time to learn & after 6 years, I'm still being educated daily. That being said, how much did you pay? Does the seller allow returns?
For our inexperienced members, we generally ask them to show us pics prior to purchasing, that way we can give you our honest opinions. IMO, it's a fun/interesting hobby that will last a lifetime, don't throw in the towel just yet.

I gave $151. Being new I thought it might lose a couple points on grading but I never thought they grade a cleaned coin without mentioning it on the slab.

The good news is that you paid AU & not full MS-64 price for it & it's also a key-date coin w/ a little over 4m minted.
Does the seller accept returns? IMO, even if I had to eat shipping/handling (chalk it up to a learning expense) I'd send it back & then focus on purchasing a better 1911 S.

Your first clue should have been seeing a 64 1911-S for $151. Seeing you said you are a "newbie" to coin collecting posy post anything you want to buy HERE first - Members will let you know all about the coin!

I talked with the seller and he's willing to let me return it but I'm just going to keep it for several years, (just like I had planned in the first place). Also I won it in auction for $151... I do appreciate everyone's input, once more!

I can't rush to judgement based on two pictures. The flash/light is very strong cutting any patina. That said, I didn't pick up any cartwheel spokes. If you're keeping it, crack that garbage slab, turn off the flash and get some better pictures.

I as well see a cleaned AU coin. It's hopefully a lesson learned.
Feel free to post photos here before you commit to purchasing a coin and our experts will give you great advise.
Please get in the habit of posting the denomination in your message titles. I'm going to ask a Moderator to do so for this thread.
