Title says it all. Thoughts on this coin?   |

We are going to need clearer closeups. I can't see any luster or contact marks, so anything would be a blind guess.

Agree. Wear seems apparent in the hair, but the pics are dead-looking. Please crop and enlarge them to show surface details clearly.

Please crop and enlarge your photos . As mentioned coin looks dull with no pizazz .  |

Looks like AU sharpness, but the surfaces appear cleaned or polished.

AU details, nicer coin but likely cleaned.
Good to see you here, too.

Can't see the surface well enough in these photos.

From these pics I'd say high AU with super clean (free of contact marks) fields and devices. Just that rim hit. Kinda makes me wonder if it is fresh off a Chinese press.

I'm seeing an AU sanitized coin.

That would be a negative Ghostrider. Coin has been in a 20th century type coin set for the last 20 years. A few of the coins in the set have old cleanings on them.

Consensus says there's something not quite right with this coin . In my Opinion , genuine but not original .  |

I'll bust her out of the type set she is in, and take more pics. Lighting does look bad in those pics. Flat

Better pics. I think this coin may have been cleaned with a jewelers cloth or something. EF-45 details. Cleaned.

Thank you for the new photos. It has great detail for a type coin, I like it.
The coin has AU details, reverse is lacking luster so I am leaning toward cleaned.
