What does everyone think? I bought this on ebay, thinking that it may be a proof.

Not a proof, but a well-struck 1883 no cents, one year type coin.

Can't tell from the pics what the grade might be. I can see some hairlines in the left obverse field and some green stuff in the right obverse field.

Still nice!

Would you say it has been cleaned? I bought it as a cleaned coin.

Here is one one in Proof.

Although theh 1883 No Cents Nickel is pretty common in AU and Unc. because many were hoarded, it's much tougher and more expensive in Proof because it's a one year, actually a partial year, type coin.
