The color's a bit funky & I can't tell if there are hairlines from an old cleaning. A strict grading would be IMO an AU-53 although the color is questionable. I haven't bought a high grade Baber in years so people more experiences in the actual details can be more helpful.

AU Details cleaned - I think the cleaning was a long time ago the coin has retoned and pretty nicely, I don't like the stain on the reverse at all, and the scratches marks on the face tell me the coin has been through some rough times. I would pass on this one, as it doesn't have enough eye appeal for me.
