EF-45. I feel it is your lighting that makes the coin look cleaned.
Too much orange to be original, imo.
I'll shut up. I seem to be more of a bother here than a benefit. I admit I stepped out of line, and I apologize.
If you want true rarity, go to the ancients section. They will be happy to show you coins that will take months or YEARS to find a single example...
