I'm questioning the originality of the surfaces on this one, luster doesn't look right, could be the lighting. Tentative AU Details

AU Details Cleaned
It seems like it was cleaned in the past, which made it turn to the original bright red. Then over the years has retoned to the brown color on the high points. Too many dings and wear around the 2 on the reverse.

Better pics needed. From these, I'd say AU details (cleaned).

I'd say AU details cleaned as well based off of the hairlines around CENTS on the reverse and the unnatural color.

AU details most likely cleaned and recolored. AU53. Love to see better photos on this one, some interesting die cracks in and above the Motto "In GOD"

AU Details, cleaned. The area around "Cents" has been mutilated by a scrub sponge.  |

Clueless looking at these contrasting pics. Not a bargain even if AU straight. You remind me of the target in a carnival "Dunk the Mayor" contest.  |

AU58 and really nice, the area I thought were die breaks are scratches, the reverse is telling as to an AU coin with very light circulation as are the darker area on the horizontal lines in the shield. Nothing about the surfaces tell me it's been cleaned or recolored. The colors actually look pretty original and pleasing in the new photographs. My Two Cents anyways.
