A difficult coin to photograph - in hand the surfaces are a little more subdued, not so bright.

Bought Stacks ca. 1989.

How would you grade this today?

Thanks for all opinions.

Yes, the picture do make it look cleaned. I suspect also it has been dipped due to the surfaces being still a little too bright. It has no obvious cleaning hairlines though, just circulation marks.

The Stacks catalogue description made no mention of a cleaning.

I wonder how PCGS or NGC would grade this.
