Picked this up for $204. It appears to be O-115 which is a R-4 scarce variety. Coin looks like it has some luster, but the surfaces do not appear to have any toning. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!

Odd that the seller pics showed no color. Looks AU details, cleaned and retoned.

Appears to have been cleaned and is retoning. IMO

When you shine the light on with the camera directly above, you don't see any of the toning... just when you hit it with incandescent at the right angle

AU53 Straight. I doubt it's retoned. The color is consistant of those toned form the period. The hairlines from cleaning would still be visable if it were. The evidence of original luster makes my decision.
