VF? THAT COIN LOOKS. AU! (sadly that yellow residue on the reverse kills the numismatic value)

I disagree on the yellow stuff. This is still a nice coin.

Hello regarding the yellow stuff, it seems to be some sort of chalky substance that can be wiped off, I just haven't fully got it off yet haha maybe a few cloth rubs will do it

Be careful of the "rubbing", as there are already scratches on the OBV from someone cleaning it. Except for the yellow, I think XF-40. Nice coin

I'll say AU-50 but the surfaces suggest mishandling or cleaning.  to the CCF! |

Lines on the obverse indicate cleaning.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

It's not cool.
Abrasive cleaning that leaves lines on the coin will reduce value by about 50%.

 @Richelieu AU50, harshly cleaned. The yellow might come off with a soak in acetone. |

I think these are circulation scuffs and not hairlines from cleaning. AU-55.

For me, high(er) end XF and hints of a prior cleaning. Would love to see this piece in-hand.
