Here's some different pics with alternate lighting. I bought it assuming it may have been cleaned.   |

AU Details still all washed out ,numerous hits . The only thing I like about this coin is the nice breast feathers .  |

I would say AU details because of some wear on the high points and head. Judging from the first pic which I think is the best one.

I have never seen a TPG grading company label a coin "BU Details - Cleaned". I've seen "Unc Details - Cleaned" (or something similar). Using the words "brilliant uncirculated" of the initials "BU" would be implying something that the coin is not. |

Personally I was looking at the wear on the head and thought it a bit more harsh than AU. The leg is an issue with many Walkers from poor strike. I do like the details on the eagle though. Maybe this is why others are saying AU? It could be the pics, angle, and cleaning are making the head look more worn/shiny.
I have to admit that even cleaned, this design still looks pretty to me.

Why do none of you consider it to be "BU" details? Is there something on the coin you can point at and say that detracts enough to put it in AU details range? Looking at Liberty's head and breast, some minor circulation wear seems evident, though it's tough to be 100% certain from the photos. The same can be said for the eagle's breast, leg and top of the wing. I also see very smooth fields with none of the frosty flow lines that would be evident on a truly uncircluated coin. Flow lines are like the frost on an icy window and give uncirculated coins their characteristic cartwheel luster. The most obvious difference between AU58 and MS60 are breaks in the flow lines, which begin to wear with very little handling. By strict interpretation an uncirculated coin should show no trace of wear whatsoever. An 'UNC details' coin will have other issues but should still show no signs of wear. The cleaning seems to be more than a simple dip and looks unnatural on a coin that is not quite frosty and sharp. Thus AU details, inappropriately cleaned imho. Edited by Kushanshah
