Not a perfect coin still nice none the less. Was curious as to what it's chances are of any ms grade...?, Or would it top out at AU 50 or 58?   |

obv AU50 rev a tad better maybe 55. I have to go with the weaker side so AU50. too much glare to determine if the surfaces are original on the obv

AU-53/55 details. Appears to have been cleaned, the dark brown patches on the obverse are unnatural IMO.

Idk where the dark brown patches came from. I acquired the coin as it is close to 6 years ago maybe a tad over 6. Been sitting sealed and in a binder since. I Wanna say the browning looks like it could be natural to me, it doesn't appear on the edge or rev...I wouldn't be able to tell you how it came about natural or not.
I've experimented om numerous denomination coins and methods to artificially tone them. Doesn't look like anything I ever came up with.

The dark brown is indicative of how the coin looked before someone improperly cleaned it.

AU53 works for me. Do suspect it was cleaned long, long ago.

I am Def inclined to agree with all about it being previously cleaned some time ago, was hoping it wouldn't be the case but it is what it is. Thanks to all who posted, as always a big help.

Agree with AU details - prior cleaning and then retoned a bit.

after a closer look, even with the glare, I have to agree that the staining on the obv was the result of a cleaning a while ago. not 100% certain it would detail using these photos. there are instances where coins have been lightly cleaned and pass the test. a better photo of the coin avoiding overhead/harsh lighting would help discern that
