What grade would you give this coin? Do you see any problems with it? The seller won't accept returns and I can't can't figure out why.

No returns because it looks like a problem coin. Image appears whitewashed to hide defects. Who is the seller, what platform?

There are some notorious whitewashers but this is not one I have heard of before. I'd propose thinking about any image and asking yourself if it is possible it could look like that in hand. It is so easy to take realistic photos nowadays and any seller who does not is more than likely hiding something.
