Agree. The coin lacks "life" and the dirt left in recessed places is typically telltale.

@miguel also if it was "polished cleaned" letters and such would lack detail and be very shiny.

Any cleaning signs look pretty minor. If this were a better date (i.e., worth paying to have it graded) I expect it would grade XF-45 problem free.

AU-50, old cleaning. Probably straight grades.

Why is there no even wear between the wings of the eagle and the breast feathers? The breast feathers seem almost absent.

The New Orleans mint is notorious for poorly struck breast feathers, and when you add some light circulation wear, the breast feathers can disappear in an AU coin.
