Very unnatural looking. No diamond detail on the ribbon, little on lower curl. "Liberty" shows wear. Evident field circulation marks in close-ups. I'll say high EF details (cleaned and re-colored).

Color looks strange. First set looks cleaned. Second set looks copper nickel.

I'm leading toward EF also, I can't tell by the color if cleaned. For a good price I would take it home. It has nice visual appeal (7/10)

Yeah the color looks off . Obvious wear on coin .EF-45 Details . Those spots on reverse might not be verdigris , but corrosion .

AU53 details, cleaned/recolored. Conservation might help it, but the color and the wear do not match up with each other. Still, for a key date coin, it's far from ugly!

I'll stick with cleaned and recolored with an intent to deceive, details. Look at that ribbon detail! Sending this for grading is a complete waste of money, sorry.
