I was looking at this coin and was wondering if the dust collected only in the letter and not in the field of the coin a tell tale sign of cleaning. Like I feel the following coins have been cleaned due to the improper distribution of crud or dust on the coin. Thoughts?

I can't tell from the photos if it is cleaned or not, but I can tell that it is a nice looking coin!

I see very little wear so not really sure if ever cleaned. If it was I would think a long time ago. Nice looking coin.

There is no need to clean a coin for only dust. If there is dust in the devices, you just blow it off with compressed air or a squeeze bulb. I can tell from the photo that it was shot to accentuate detail and not luster. Look at the obverse devices, the area around the lettering is "cleaner" than the fields next to it- that area should show luster if I am reading these photos correctly.
