Looks mid AU to me. Probably dipped once to remove toning and to bring back any flash. Any further dips will strip any remaining luster.

Not whizzed, possibly dipped, but the coin has seen a little action. I'll say AU-58 straight.

I don't see any evidence of radial luster,- that gives arise to the possibility that it has been dipped. 'Flash' without being radial, appears to be there. Other than that, I agree with
AU-58.

the lighting/glare on these photos is way to much to determine if the surfaces are original and the coin probably will look a lot worse in hand. the obv right field definitely is showing us that the coin was circulated. probably AU58...does it grade straight? no idea with these photos
captainmandrake1, regarding your question "Does this coin look cleaned? And, if so, what type of cleaning was it given?" because of the photos presented this is not a good choice to determine a cleaning or not. there is way too much flashback to tell.

AU-58 straight grade. Probably dipped, but that gets a pass.

This coin has some remaining original mint luster on the reverse. The process of whizzing a coin removes all original surfaces, and creates false luster. Your coin has natural luster, but it has been messed with in one way or another. I also see hairlines running vertically above the Sun on the obverse. Possibly graffiti in the right obverse field as well.
Not a fan, it is a problem AU coin and shall receive a grade of AU Details.

Great! Thanks everyone for the info! I got it from a big dealer; they sold it as AU, but it did seem to have many details. Thanks, everyone, for your input!
