Unc Details, cleaned (62), no luster
Reverse looks better.
Thought it might be a proof at first but looks like a business strike based on the obverse
There is so much light directly on the coin that it's very difficult to see the true surfaces. Would like to see photos at a more oblique angle.

There seems to be a big difference in towing between the two sides. Could just be lighting, could be cleaned. I do see a nick or two on it, so I'll go AU-58, possibly cleaned. Maybe new pics will shed some light.

I'll say au55. Maybe cleaned but not definitive for me. @eaglebub7, taking great pictures that reflect accurately how a coin looks in hand is always challenging. Most get better with practice. Thanks for making the effort to provide better pictures.

The obvious differences between the obverse and reverse pics of this coin cement it as a details grade.

 the obv probably looked like the reverse and someone got the bright idea to clean it and then stopped with the obv after they saw the results or they figured the reverse would pass as is. new photos - UNC (details) cleaned the coin still has value and its not harshly cleaned. for a straight graded AU58 or low MS your looking at $160-180 so $80 is probably its full value. however when you are attempting to price out a details coin its all about what you would pay for it. personally, knowing what I know now, if I knew a coin was cleaned I would stay away Edited by panzaldi
