Darth, as stated above the coin has sat in an attic for more than 60 years, this is fact, so, no I have no way of knowing whether it was lightly cleaned as that would have happened before I was born, I'm 57....

That's why I mentioned the possibility of a very old cleaning. If the coin was placed in the attic sometime in the 50s, it could have been cleaned sometime in the 1940s or even early 50s right before it was tucked away. Back then, cleaning coins was acceptable because it was considered "caring" for them. Could you put it under the loup to check for light hairlines? I can't see any hairlines in the photo you posted, but perhaps you could double check? That could prove or disprove the theory. How does the luster present? I really want this to be NT, can't ya tell?
