It's an AU... dont really see any major problems.
I agree with the others... I would call it AU details and from the pictures the surfaces definitely need a better look... not really much to go on...
I suspect the bottom coin has been lightly cleaned...(from the pics at least) I have handled quite a few gem plus capped bust halves... I just...
