Probably overpaid for this one a little bit but I liked the color of the coin so I went for it. Not sure if it's a weak strike or wear.

I think wear. The wear is hiding under the patina.
GrapeCollects is right on both of his comments.

I lean toward 45 sharpness, but agree it was cleaned at one point.

And probably more recently than you'd suspect.

Is the cleaning really bad enough to give it a details grade?

EF40 details. The clasp is not sharp enough for 45. There are also flatter hair details than 45. Definitely a past cleaning. This is an O-102 R1.

I think it would detail grade because of the patina. Sometimes these coins can eke through to straight grade even with a past cleaning, but I don't think this one will.
