    That looks like a very nice coin! I am definitely no pro, it is hard to say from the pics if it has been cleaned or not but I can see a few marks below the eagle and a few more below the "cent" on the reverse which may be reason for concern. Also a small nick on the rim on the reverse at about 7 o'clock. I don't see any evidence of being harshly cleaned or anything like that though. Good luck with your purchase - what is the asking price?

    It does appear to have been cleaned from those pictures.

    Hard to say...

    It could just be pixelation from resizing the image... but it could also be photoshopping.

    it cant really be pixelation i think, cause only some parts are blurry not all of it (it has very sharp feather details).
    So photoshopped or cleaned, hmmmmm. :(
