In the open field around 3 oclock on the obverse you can see scratches. I agree AU cleaned. A nice coin, but not worth the money IMO

I will deviate from the prior posters somewhat; I think this coin may have been lightly cleaned in the past but has retoned and is a pretty nice coin overall. The seller does not accept returns however so at that price point, I would pass.

EF-45 details. I have one just like this and Bill Fivaz called it EF-45 details. I trust his opinion.

Likely cleaned.

AU details (way over-cleaned at some point - check out the areas under the eagle's wings).

XF details. At that price, I would try to find a graded one.

AU-Details. Asking $400? Pass and don't look back. Not worth that even if in a TPG slab graded problem free.
