I voted cleaned. The coin has obvious wear, lots of tiny hair line scratches abound . Maybe some toning left on coin to detract from a cleaning .  |

Not a coin I'd have any interest in anyways... I can't stand environmentally damaged (aka:toned) coins.

Some time pictures may not capture luster and it might have gotten a quick dipped from old cleaning, stored and toned back. But without coin in hand, it's hard to tell.

Sorry I just can't let this comment go without responding to it. Quote:

 w/ Mac, a retone after old cleaning. The spot at 7 o'clock obverse is too suspicious plus those "fine lines" on the reverse right field. Seems like someone tried real hard on a cover-up.... well, guess that's "par for the course" today...  Edited by Crazyb0

However, on older coins other than Morgan/Peace/Liberty Walking half/etc. you want toning that shows the coin has original surfaces. |

Uncleaned. While some types and dates may have original toning, original blast white luster is possible for the majority of types if you are patient, know the series, and know what a dip or cleaned coin looks like.
