I see what appears to be a fair amount of straight line scratches on the obverse as well as the reverse. (I don't think they are die polishing marks.) This leads me to think that the coin has been wiped/cleaned at some point. It also seems to be unnaturally bright, but that could just be the lighting that was used when taking the image.
The scratches, for me, take the coin out of the mint state category and drop it into the AU range. A grading service might give it a "Details" grade, however.
