I agree with low VF or F15 worst case. Is it a light enough cleaning to be market acceptable for NGC/PCGS? Maybe they’d just knock it down a point?
I think the bigger question is whether there will be circulating coins in the future or not. Even most vending machines nowadays take contactless...
I’ve gotten decent coins before from listings with bad photos. Fewer bidders often results in a lower price. I would avoid the OP coin however...
Are there really any people who would buy a 5 figure coin from a listing with questionable photos from a low feedback seller? I could see suckers...

A mid 5 figure coin with crappy photos and the slab hologram partially worn off, along with questionable fonts on the slab label. Add to all this...

@ddddd is the winner, with honorary mention to @johnmilton! Everyone else’s estimates were two or more grades low. I think @johnmilton’s...
Any more guesses? I’ll do the reveal tomorrow.
I’m looking for a bust half dime for my type set but it’s not going to be in that grade. Wow!
I feel safest buying BN for this reason, or RB with a lot of remaining red. Older holders are a bonus.
