As much as I'm looking for what you guys think about the grade, I'm asking if you think this is scrubbed/cleaned. All the abrasive looking marks made me wonder... Thanks in advance.   |

Yeah, there's been some deliberate rubbing on devices and select parts of the fields. Strange, though. Small areas like between the eagle's legs have been rubbed [probably with a cloth or shirt tail] while other places have only taken minor coverage.
Long story short, I'd say EF-40 details.
I'd keep it in my collection or buy if the price is adjusted.

With different lighting for the photos this one would probably look original. I say AU-55.
Whizzed was a process used in the 70's and 80's where the surfaces were hit with a high speed wire brush to add a bright cartwheel luster. Little tic marks would be seen near all the raised parts of the surface. This coin show no signs of that.

AU-53 straight. Lots of luster around the perimeters which looks natural. No obvious evidence of cleaning to me.  |

AU-53, but I cannot tell whether or not it has been cleaned from these pictures.

Maybe I was wrong with saying wizzed ,but come on look at the entire surface of the coin obverse as well as reverse . that is not normal . Even OP says : Quote:

I believe this is a details coin, NOT a straight one !  |
