I suspect polishing or cleaning, but could be wrong as the coin is in some packaging and out of it, could be more natural.
I did pick up some wear on the shields, but honestly its an EF or better coin and for that era, fairly rare and a nice coin regardless. It would find a welcome spot in my collection. For a "first" British coin its a rabelasian achievement!
Can I be rude and ask you what you paid for it?
