Here is a photo of a 1907 Liberty Head $5 coin. I would appreciate anyone's input as I am considering a purchase but am concerned with the dark patches around the stars and numbers. Has it been cleaned? Many Thanks.

Lots of hits with a good whack to the nose. I'd wait for a better one.

Horribly cleaned - look at the box of the original surface around the date vs. the rest of the field.

Thanks a lot. I was afraid it had been clean but I wanted to hear more experienced collectors out there. I will pass on this one. BTY he wanted $400.00 for it.
