It's a beauty! I say au50, possibly higher.
I don't feel qualified to offer an opinion on a cleaning, but great coin!

different angle on the reverse so it does not look like the neck has any rub, its doesn't  |

I think it would just make EF-40 but the rim dings may be enough to give it a details grade.

The rim damage doesn't help. Tiny amount of wear on the high points. The right thigh is a bit flat. Couple of tiny dings.
I guess that this coin has been sitting on the bottom of a drawer for many years, perhaps that explains the patination pattern.
AU50.

EF40/45 too many tics on the obverse + the rim bump to go any higher. Still a great coin and very collectible coin!

EF-40 details, cleaned and rim problems. Too much wear on the eagle's feathers for an AU.

indian - too much wear on the eagles feathers? huh? cleaned a hundred years ago you mean? you do see the patina that has formed, yes? that takes quite a handful of decades to achieve that toning anyhoo, Heritage Auctions here is an excellent comparison for both similar rim nics and tics on the obverse. Its NGC AU53. My coin will go as part of my PCGS submission this summer so I will re-post after its slabbed. I paid $100 so another $15 is worth it to grade it http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleN...0&lotNo=7746 |

Agree with EF-45 details overall, old cleaning, some rim issues. Reverse detail is AU.
