Just picked this up. It has been cleaned; it sure is shiny. But I think that it has really nice details. What grade would you give it? Thanks in advance!

XF+/AU details, probably cleaned and recolored, great coin and great details on it with none of the too common spotting or corrosion. Nice pick.

Too bad this has been cleaned, but it's still a nice coin with AU details. Cream of the crop when it comes to cleaned coins!

Highly unlikely. First, it's a nice, sharp, detailed strike (is that doubling in OF AMERICA?) and second, it's not a really high-demand candidate for a counterfeiter.

Genuine, AU Details. Probably a $150 coin if original surfaces.

It weighs 6.17 grams according to my affordable pocket scale. I purchased it from a local dealer for $23.00. I do not believe he would be fooled by a bad coin or sell one.

I believe that I do see a little doubling Thanks for the heads up SuperDave!
