Relatively new to coins and I cannot tell if this is considered Circulated, AU, or UNC?

its either au, or unc with soft details, unless your pictures are not representative of the details on the coin (IMO).

Key date coin, nice.

In my opinion the coin has circulated. Unsure what the grade would be from the pictures.

Definitely has seen circulation.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

From the lack of details on the King's hair, it looks closer to VF than AU.

To me it looks circulated.
Better pictures out of the 2 x 2 might
show some detail that is lacking.

A lot of wear above the ear and crud in the devices definitely circulated. Higher end VF is my opinion.

I would say circulated and cleaned, VF details.
But I agree it would be a VF-EF coin otherwise

Take the coin out of the 2x2 and we can give you a better choice looks, cleaned to me.

Without better pics I would guess VF-30 to 35.
