From the pics it appears to have AU details but has been aggressively cleaned.

Sounds good - AU details, cleaned. Seems so harshly cleaned though would it even make it into a PCGS or NGC slab?

I'm still trying to figure out if it's cleaning or nicks from circulation. I do think it's been dipped.

At least on the reverse you can see all the lines are going the same way. Obverse lines are harder to see but the surfaces are just so unnatural looking.

Yes, AU and cleaning or dipping or something.

Tough to tell if this is an old cleaning or circulation - I'll give it the benefit of the doubt but knock it off the technical grade of low AU and say EF-45.

From my phone, I'm inclined to agree with fenton - AU technically but docked a bit for sketchy fields. If it were actually brushed, I'd think it would be far more obvious in these images and a dip would probably have removed the halo effect around the letters.

I'm going to do a submission to ANACS this week, taking advantage of the Fall special. I think I'll send this in. At <$9, I think it would be worth it, if nothing else as a learning tool.

This is why I love CCF - I often learn something worthwhile even if it's not related to the post I'm reading.
Thanks to beefer518, I've learned that ANACS has a Fall Special for 15 coins for $139 with free return shipping. I will certainly take advantage of it.

au details harshly cleaned
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
