I don't see any [I]appreciable[/I] wear on the Design High Points on the Obverse, or on the Left Top Wing and Left Talon (Eagle's Left). I do see some parallel Hairlines in the Fields on both sides and on Liberty, and some different reflectivity in some areas, so I do believe that there was an attempt at a cleaning a long time ago (as opposed to mishandling).
