Nothing special about this one, but it is my only Morgan dollar and I got it for $25 back when silver was around $30. I probably should have flipped it there and then...

AU-53

It looks like it may have had an old cleaning.

What makes it look cleaned?

It was sold as "VF/XF", so I'm pleasantly surprised regardless.

My estimate is AU-53 with somewhat harsh cleaning. What makes it look cleaned are the numerous thin scratches evident on both sides of the coin, indicative that something abrasive (e.g. steel wool) was used to clean the coin. Scratches like this are inconsistent with bag marks. The reason others have commented that it may be an old cleaning is probably because while the scratches are easy to see, the coin appears to have re-toned and softened a bit from handling over the years/
