I'll guess EF or low AU.
Errers and Varietys.

I say XF40 possibly a details grade.

I'm at EF-40. I'm guessing the glossy look is from the lighting and glare of the slab, because otherwise I don't see any evidence of cleaning.

The scrape across the head is worrisome, can't tell much from the picture. The cheek, jaw and wheat grains are pretty flat.

Well it was detailed as cleaned - so it will make an extremely nice album cent.  Here are the auction pictures just for the heck of it.   |

My guess is they didn't like the reverse. You picture looks a lot different from theirs. What are we seeing on the head?

What are we seeing on the head? It looks like a "smooth" area - it's hard to see in hand, only if you angle it just right. It isn't a scratch or gouge. |
