    From the last pics, I still say AU, but they show the cleaning even better.
    So AU55/58 details for me :)

    That last set of pics imo are the best, the color is much more natural then in the first pics. As for the grade there's some light wear throughout the coin, so I would say AU50-55.

    I don't see any obvious cleaning and it looks approximately AU53-55 to me.

    Much better images.

    So you aren't seeing any of the hairlines I'm seeing on the reverse of the coin? Look at all the pictures given, and I would say this coin has been cleaned.

    I don't know which ones you're seeing. And maybe the coin has been cleaned, but if it has, it's not a given to me, based on the images. And by the way, coins can acquire hairlines other than through cleaning,

    So are you saying, based on the images, that the coin is original?

    No, I'm saying that based on the limitations of viewing it via on-line images, I'm not going to declare it cleaned, as you did.

    Alrighty Mark, still sticking to what I said, based on the images, I believe it to be a cleaned coins, and I feel better images would need to be seen to better prove my point, or prove me wrong. :)

    I would agree with AU as a grade. T$, I see some horizontal lines on the left side of the reverse, but I venture a guess they are from die scratches more than a cleaning, but is very difficult to say for sure from the photo.

    When I look at the reverse, I imagine a CC mintmark image, but I know there were none struck :)
