Nice AU but photos are too small to know if it was cleaned.

Photos are kinda small but at least it lets you zoom in a little.
He's a real honest guy. He was selling a bunch of raw ones and then sent some coins in to ngc. Most came back in high grades but a couple came back as cleaned. He originally listed this one as problem free, but once he had some coins come back as cleaned, he lowered the price of this one because he really can't tell. I can't usually tell either so I don't blame him.
And I'm a fan of toning too! :)

He was very proud of his coin.

360 Dollars for an AU, That's like a hundred dollars over Red Book. My opinion that makes him very proud of it and will probably keep it. |

Depends on how high AU it would grade. And starting bid was $300 so it could probably be won at that price. Past heritage auctions show AU58's selling at $432 and $485.

Doesn't looked cleaned to me but he has it in hand and probably looked at it
under magnification.I'm surprised it's worth so much.

I would stay away because of the risk you are taking.

Could be a mid AU. The coin doesn't appear to be harshly cleaned but pics are too small to say if it is lightly cleaned.
