Thinking about placing a bid on this on but I am new to buffs. What are your opinions on grading and if it has been cleaned? These are the seller's pictures.

Doesn't look obviously cleaned. I'd say AU-55.

It might not be cleaned but something about it just doesn't look right . Can't pin it down , almost like it was dipped into 5 parts water and 1 part acid for a few seconds . If you want my Honest opinion I would stand clear of this one .

Update - did not win - I bid low, was not emotionally invested and let someone have it for $22. Thanks for everyone's input!
