Please tell me what you think. Does this look like AT, Cleaned/ Retoned, or is it natural? Would the rim dings detail it?

What are the signs that it has been cleaned? I am not trying to challenge, simply wanting to learn more.

The coin has been artificially cleaned (AT), IMO.
Looks high AU maybe 58 but, the rim dings are not that good I'm sure you would get 'details' grade on it.

The color is not natural, a sign of cleaning

Agree, cleaned and re-toning with unnatural colors. I'll say 58 here.

Looks flat, I see no signs of luster.

Thanks everyone! I wasn't expecting a very high grade on this one...It is also the FS-1102 Variety.

i think someone attempted to remove something on the reverse surfaces of this coin. the reverse stands out more with the discoloration and flat/dull looking surfaces. I believe it was cleaned
