Appears to be a scan - difficult to grade from.

AU, damaged, burnished, cleaned. Not much numismatic value left above gold spot.

I had a chance to buy it, for 5% over melt.

The reverse has nearly full cartwheel, the obverse only has luster between the stars. Few marks, strong strike. Discoloration in the area near the date.

What are the signs that indicate it's been damaged, burnished and cleaned?

Coin is too silky-looking with virtually no evidence of contact marks, almost unheard of on a (relatively soft) gold coin.

The coin also has a halo effect around the stars (more obvious in the second set of pics). The halo is a dead giveaway for cleaning.
