I'm going to try to get a better pic. I think it is the lighting that makes it look cleaned. I'm no expert but in hand it doesn't look it.

I don't think it was cleaned. But I agree with fine as a grade. I saw an NGC Fine, improperly cleaned example sold for $336 US. Very Nice coin!

I am going to say VF-20 from current photos.

Would like to see an overall images of the coin, doesn't appear to be cleaned either.

Edit: I think it should be worth around $325 IMO.

I agree with VF20. Not sure if its original or cleaned.

I will go with F-15 though it's close to a VF-20. It might be cleaned but I think it's more likely the lighting that is giving the cleaned appearance.

I'm going with a technical grade of VF20 ... with uncertain surfaces.

Hoping the OP shows a clear image of the entire coin straight-on.

Nice authentic example of a great USA overdate ... perhaps cleaned by what I can see in the photos.

F12 or F15 and probably worth $400 or so retail. That is a nice photo of the overdate.

I'm going with F-15 and not really sure it was cleaned. There is a lot of dirt still in the protected areas so I think the photo is giving it a cleaned appearance. Nice solid coin with a bold over date.

As usual thanks everyone for the input. I may try for a grader having a good day/VF bump. Will let you know the outcome.
