I am guessing this to be F-12, purchased ungraded, any other opinions? Thanks!

F12. I'm thinking it may have been cleaned at some point.

F-12 or better detail, but the overall strike looks oddly mushy. It's almost like the whole coin was rubbed to soften the detail although I have no idea why anyone would do that. The rims seem very weak given the otherwise strong Fine detail. The color seems consistent with re-toning after an old cleaning.

Overall, something of a problem coin IMO.
