What opinions might you have on the grade of this coin? I was guessing maybe AU55 details? Thanks for looking!

Am I seeing massive die clashing on the reverse?

AU details for cleaning seems right.

OBV and REV both are heavily clashed. Even for a lightly cleaned AU coin I was happy with the purchase. Thank you!

Neat coin. Love the clashes. AU details as it might have seen a dip. Hard to tell from photos only, of course.

EF details, cleaned. I can see heavy hairlining in pictures 3 and 4. I love the clashing, though.

XF40 details, cleaned, but a very nice die clash on both sides.

Thanks for all opinions. The reverse does not appear to be cleaned which is weird because the obverse definitely was and is very apparent. I appreciate all of the help!

I say AU with a possible details grade. The clashing is really interesting on this coin.
