$85 seems pricey for it, so unfortunately I agree with you. I'm not seeing it in my hand, but it looks like XF details to me and a relatively strong strike.
The basic detail grading that I posted does work for the 17-24 T2s, but there's one caveat, the date. As we know the dates on the pre-25s wear savagely, You really need to be into VF and better to guarantee a full date on a pre-25. Heck, look at the ANA book, the coin they show for the grade of Fine is nearly dateless.
