Hello everyone,

I picked up this coin locally and have an issue with the toning (or cleaning) that occurred around the shape of seated liberty. It is a beautiful coin, but can someone with more experience weigh in on potential grades? This picture was taken with no zoom or flash, but I did have a surefire flashlight shining on it to enhance the
"ghost" shape around seated liberty. In my opinion it is an AU50. The OBV has the issues, but the REV is beautiful, Please let me know and thanks in advance.

Does it have much luster? Kinda hard to see the reverse, but looks like AU58 to me. I don't see much wear at all, and thinking it could be MS.

Looks XF-45 details cleaned. I'm almost inclined to say it has been whizzed, but hard to tell from photos.

The obverse doesn't look 'right.' Could just be the strike on the obverse or a misrepresentation of the coin's color. Could be genuine but I can't really tell with those pictures.
