1945 Mercury dime - I came up with VF30, however I think it has been cleaned. It just doesn't look right for the age and amount of wear on the coin. Are there some specific things that make it standout as a cleaned coin?

AU-MS. Your images are too overexposed and not white balanced, which makes it exceptionally difficult to nail down an accurate grade.

Looks mid grade AU. The lighting makes it difficult to tell for sure. Also hard to tell if it was cleaned. See if you can get some better lighting pics

Yeah, I'm in the XF45 crowd. It seems there is just a bit too much wear on the diagonal bands for me. But it could be a soft strike. Like the others have said, we need better pictures.
