...no longer be Mint State


Therefore would it also be correct to state that designating these coins from MS60 up to and including MS70 for unworn coins is inappropriate for these same coins being chemically cleaned or whizzed-cleaned; they are either UNC or BU only?

The coin looks Mint State but hard to give it a number with the hairlines. The hairlines indicate something was rubbed across the surface, usually when a coin is dipped or cleaned, drying it improperly could cause this. It is definitely not whizzed, that is a process using a high speed wire brush to remove part of the surface, starting in the center and working out to the rim to artificially create a cartwheel luster.
