So-called dollar HK-299, I likey (I have HK-303, the bronze version)

This style is by far the most common SC$ from the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair/Louisiana Purchase Exposition and it is .600 silver and 33mm in diameter. I cannot really tell if it has been cleaned or not, the lighting is terrible and the coin looks green However, I do not see any hairlines so that is a good sign.

Tuff to tell from the pictures. I don't see any hairlines from a cloth.
If original luster is intact, I would say no.

Don't sweat it! When you get back to coins, your knowledge of the history behind the piece will be greater then other collector's.

Thus , greater enjoyment in collecting.
