I think Frog is on the right track.
Photos look good. Play with the lighting a little and I think you are there.

Adam or one of the other knowledgeable dollar guys will have a better feel. I know that most O-mints tend to be weakly struck, especially above the ear and on the eagle's breast, so I tend to give them some leeway.

It has the look to me to be a little on the polished side. I could be wrong, but that's how it looks to me, so I'm calling it AU details.

since the 85(o) have typical average strikes most of of what we are seeing here is circulation wear. the coins fields and devices are dull. most if not all luster appears to have been removed from a cleaning. since its even in nature I would think it was over dipped. AU details. if I had to assign a numeric grade I would be at 53

Agree with AU details, cleaned. It appears that luster has been stripped by an overzealous dipping.
