What do y'all think. Seems similar to another coin I looked at before. Color is different. The other y'all pointed out was cleaned. Is this one to?
If not, grade?

Uneven color and strange brightness, I'll say AU Details Cleaned. I think this coin exhibits hairlines unseen in this lighting condition, but will be seen in hand.

Definitely been cleaned and retoned. Color is not natural/original. Reverse toning is also a good indicator of an old chemical cleaning
