Looks like an impaired proof.

Unfortunately still an Impaired proof. You need to wear gloves when handling coins, especially proofs.

The fields look bad - I'll agree with another impaired proof.

I'm pretty sure it's my s***ty picture taking that's causing this "impairment" unfortunately so I'm going to work on that
I posted for info on cleaning so I'm waiting for info on things like whether to use cotton balls to wipe or just soak and whether to wash acetone off or just let dry. etc., etc.
