The obverse is a little dinged up on Lincolns face (forehead, cheek, beard)
and a couple on the field above the date so I say MS61-2

It does look like it has a fair amount of scattered hits on the obverse.
I'd say it's MS62RB.

I would say AU-55 RB looks like there is some rub on the high points of the obverse

Not sure if your pics or what, but the surfaces don't look right to me. It looks like cleaned AU coin.
I could be wrong, I've been wrong plenty of times. LOL If it's not been cleaned, I'd say MS-64.

Fairly certain it is AU can't tell cleaning from photo but it does have the color and surfaces of a slightly worn penny that was cleaned up to look mint state

As far as I can tell in hand and with 10x glass it's not cleaned. Pretty sure it's MS as well, as it came from a roll of UNCs, but was one of two that turned out to be in this kind of shape.
Why do you guys think it has been cleaned?

It may be more of a picture quality issue. The surface of the coin appears washed out with little contrast. Try it under indirect incandescent light and repost.

Increase lighting, adjust white balance on the camera and post ONE picture per side.

Not sure if its the lighting or what but the picture looks cleaned and dipped. What kind of Unc roll did it come from. Obviously someone had to put the roll together as I'm pretty sure banks were not handing out OBW rolls in 1909.
