Low mintage year. They had three strikes that year. Business, prooflike, and proof. Which do you think this is? Also, are there signs of a cleaning/light wiping, or are those just normal strike lines?

They might be die polish lines - hard to say from the photo.
Not sure if it's proof or proof-like though (I collect these coins and didn't realise there were three strikes) - I'd guess proof-like, assuming the proofs are cameo?

Business strike at best, way too many marks and scratchings for it to be a proof.

Cleaned, but even if not MS60 at best. I even see some light rubbing on the back of the springbok and Lizzie's hair - so I would say AU.
