This is actually a coin I'm considering to purchase. They claim it's "AU". I didn't even think about it being cleaned. If its cleaned I don't think I want it. Are we in agreeance that it definitely appears cleaned?

Yes, it looks like it has had a light cleaning at one time, and been artificially recolored.

Still, it looks pretty nice, what was the price they were asking?

If this is an ebay item, look at their other cents and see if they look the same. A clue that it's doctored.

I ended up purchasing a great AU50 1931-S today in person! Abe's a handsome one! I'll post some photos when I get home. Again thanks all!

Here he is..The 1931-S that I ultimately purchased. He actually looks much clearer and cleaner in person. Pics are a bit fuzzy.
