Assuming the last pictures are actually what the coin looks like.....
VF-25 details, the bottom of the portrait has been cleaned (probably unintentionally) - disrupting the BN surfaces and there's some light corrosion in the left, reverse field, VLDS reverse is pretty cool.

I think youre just seeing the weakness on this one, I don't see any color variation that would show cleaning, is that what leads you to believe it has been cleaned?  |

Oh, and this coin is a glossy brown, with a blue luster.

Not sure where you see the corrosion, you seeing the Die Deterioration? I appologize, these are the same photos, just did some editing, which I failed to do initially.   |

boy that reverse die is hosed. considering this is how it came of the line I'm grading by obverse. looks XF to me with that hair detail, ear and bowtie. I think it probably was improperly stored and the surfaces appear to be compromised with a layer of rust so I'm at XF details (ED). A TPG may reduce the grade a notch to VF but since its a worn die and not a stamping issue I think not. it is what it is. look close the area right above the date in the field. the photos make it appear that the coin is slightly dented in that area. just check that to make sure its not the photos, lighting or toning making it appear that way |
