    I think VG, but may have altered, or cleaned surfaces.

    It looks like it’s been smoothed. There are no scratches evident. That is highly unlikely for this coin in that grade. The “LIBERTY” is the last thing to go wear-wise, but the word looks to strong compared to the rest of the coin.

    Yes there's something wrong with the coin. The surfaces look too clean and I'm also disturbed by the sharpness of Liberty.

    What does a smoothed surface look like in person?
