I know the obverse is cleaned, but what's up with the reverse? Is that from over-dipping? What do you say to the coin overall? MS details?AU details?
TIA

Someone seriously messed with this coin. Shame.
Probably UNC Details? CLEANED.

AU Details, cleaned, reverse harshly cleaned. Looks over dipped and reverse looks whizzed or messed with with some type of abrasive.

AU details cleaned for me. Looks like a little luster left on the obverse. Would look OK in a type set folder.

Whizzed and cleaned. Not a desirable coin. Non-gradable.

The coin does look like it has been dipped/cleaned, but there is something beyond the dip that is causing the reverse to look flat. AU Details.

NGC graded this AU details - Reverse Stained
No mention of cleaning on the obverse. Maybe they felt it wasn't necessary to write it since it is a details coin anwyay.
I am happy with that grade.

Au details, as far as what was done I don't know. This coin has been through a lot.
