I also agree, straight grade not cleaned.
I have read .. that old time collectors had coin cabinet that they would
store their coins in. Over years of opening and closing the drawers,
the coins would slide back and forth. Sometimes causing hairlines, like
this coin shows. I am thinking this coin might have had something similar,
spending years in a desk drawer.
I also believe the light scratches seen on this coin are not seen as much,
or at all, with the coin in hand. Bright lighting and telephoto lens can show
negatives on a coin, that will not be held against it when grading.
