I've been looking at this coin for several months and finally did the deed. It seems to be uncirculated, but from very old dies.
Check out the 'D' in United and the denticles at 7 to 10 o'clock.
Did I get carried away? How would you grade?

Looks to be in the upper AU range and cleaned.

I don't know if it is AU or UNC, too close to call. No wear on the corn kernels. Appears unnaturally dark but could just be toning, so I wouldn't call it definitely cleaned but it easily could be based on the reverse if there is a color difference between the fields and the protected areas.
