Late to the grading party ... but offer my concurrence with the majority opinions.
The significant scratch on the reverse is enough IMHO to relegate this coin to 'details' status ... yet alone the likely cleaning.
The concept is not that tough ... any level of significant damage to the coin other than honest circulation wear is subject to a 'details' verdict ... cleaning, graffiti, rim bruises, big scratches, etc.
The application of the concept is where many of us have an issue ... mostly on old cleaning. Is it bad enough to render a 'details' verdict? Thats where experience comes into play.
Your coin is a no-brainer VF state 'details' coin.
