The reverse is just as good with no marks or scratches. I'll post pics of it tom.

Looks to be in the high VF range, but possibly cleaned. Not quite sure it makes XF. A decent buy for $5. Probably not worth sending in though. Might get a few more eyeballs in the Grading Forum. Maybe a mod will move the thread.

Without seeing reverse, have to say EF Details cleaned. Hence the $5 price.

This is a common date IHC. It looks cleaned, but even if it wasn't it would not be worth sending in. |

Yep it has seen a cleaning in it's day ...
Not sure what the reverse looks like but judging from the obverse I'd say EF 40 details ( cleaned )
Unfortunally it's not a eariler date as a problem free coin of this date and grade is only valued around 10 bucks , so for 5 that seems about right.
Sometimes but not aways , depending on several different things a problem coin will value around 40-50 percent of a problem free example ...
That's not an exact science but usually the lower mintage coins with problems will realize around 50 maybe even 60 percent while common dates will be more in the 30-40 percent range ....
Like I said this isn't exact and it's diffetent from coin to coin ,it's more less just the way I figure out what's a fair price to pay on certain problem coins :)
Overall yeah you might have overpaid by a buck or so but if you like the coin , then I wouldn't worry !!

How can you tell it's been cleaned? And my lcs likes to clean silver coins in soap and water to get the grime off, I've always been told not to clean coins, does cleaning it that way hurt the value.

XF details.
Cleaning hurts the value of a coin because it messes with a coin's surface. Collectors like original surfaces and when a coin is cleaned, the original surface is removed and replaced with a surface that is bright and in many cases unattractive.

XF details cleaned. If you want the honest truth, and I hate saying it, for $5 you paid too much.

Sorry but in my opinion you should find a better LCS. From your comments, it is clear that they don't know what they are doing.
The coin is reddish in color, IHCs in XF should be brown and much darker.

Unfortunately where I live there is only the 1. But I'm planning on making a trip to a coin shop called silver town it's a 50 minute drive, and I recently joined a coin club in my city just waiting for my first meeting

I see Silver Town ads in coin magazines. be careful ,they seem to be overpriced . brush up on what a cleaned coin looks like ,then brows through e-bay for what you want.
If a seller doesn't supply full sharp photos of obverse and reverse or does not accept returns just pass them by.
