I'll say AU details (cleaned and re-toned). Surfaces clearly not original.

Is that one of the DDR varieties? AU details, cleaned/questionable color Possibly a pit or dig above the 8 in the date, or is that just a dark spot?

I happen to agree with Coinfrog in all respects.
I am not a fan of artificial toning, but I have to admit that
the gold and purple colors in these pics are rather photogenic, and can understand why the OP bought it.
Nevertheless, still a keeper due it it's absolute condition, and a step in the learning process.

are these your photos? please clarify this when posting. I dont want to keep beating the lighting drum if they are not in-hand photos. if they are in-hand then avoid overhead light or flash.

55. surfaces look suspect but hard to tell from pics.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
