Looks to be AU-55 sharpness, but coloring is unnatural looking and rim nicks detract.

I wouldn't call this one cleaned yet. I have seen plenty of Seated coins with this type of unattractive toning with CAC stickers. The photo is bleached out which gives it the blue cleaned hue. Try posting different photos.

Not really. Still think these are not original surfaces.

Yeah really no difference. It has to do with the lighting but it's fair to say, original or not it's an ugly duckling.

I usually ask questions about a potential purchases BEFORE I buy it. The balance of opinions is almost always of great use.

Coinfrog, Whenever you buy from ebay with PayPal you can ALWAYS return the item but why would I return it?

Some sort of chemical or environmental damage. I'm wondering if someone had painted it with enamel or lacquer at some point and what you are seeing is the remains of the paint.

If this is the case then would an acetone bath remove it?
