Before I saw the assigned grade, my guess was EF40 also. Agree that the overall light look suggests an old cleaning, but doesn't detract and the...
I think it was kept in an old, high sulfur album. I found a few like that in my Dad's sdb. The album.. a folder, really, was disintegrating....
Thanks! I'm sure you'll have it, or one like it, some day.
I think the mark on the chin and the other scattered obv marks will keep it at 62.
I agree with MS details, looks like a fairly dense patch of hairlines in the right obv field and next to UNI on the rev. They don't come much...
I like the coin the cleaning does not seem obtrusive. As J.M. pointed out, for 130 there is only so much downside and it's a nice example of an...

On #1 the flag of the 2nd 7 is definitely broader. on #2 it might be broader but hard to tell, but the "drumstick" of the 2nd 7 has a straight...
I see afew scattered marks on the cheek, average strike, neutral toning, and PL surfaces that bump up the eye appeal some. I'll guess 64PL...
Looks VF30 to me, with very pretty album toning.
