Tip of the olive branches on the reverse sort of look like they've experienced a bit of wear, so possibly AU details.

I'd go AU53 and don't see signs of an obvious cleaning, it certainly hasn't been harshly cleaned.

Any chance for some better photos with the brightness/contrast turned down a little? No way to tell what the surfaces really look like with these photos.

I shot the pics with a DSLR. The coin is so tiny...I'm afraid those are the best pics I will be able to come up with.

I think the flashback might be creating the sense of light wear. Very tough to make a call here.

No flash. At 13mm...this coin is very difficult to photograph.

It looks like it might make unc, but definitely looks at least AU 55.

Don't think its been cleaned at least not harshly. Some dirt appears in the ES of States the C in America and a couple stars lead me to believe this had some light circulation. AU58
