    I would say cleaned and AU. The obv has some MPL characteristics, but the rev does not.

    Rims on the reverse are rounded. And the coin looks to have been horribly polished.

    Those rims are much flatter and wider than a matte proof.

    It looks like a jewelry piece to me.

    My exact thought also. There is lots of evidence around the rim that looks like it was encased in something at some point...

    look at the guy's feedback all his coins are definitely cleaned, i personally bought from and he claimed that "details" means that he suspected it was cleaned.... he is total bull...i feel sorry for anyone who falls into his trap, and a lot do

    Cleaned and damaged and NOT a proof.

    Clearly not a proof. The rims aren't right at all. And the coin looks like its been polished BADLY or something.

    In numismatic terminology a "details" grade does mean that something about the coin prevented an actual grade. Numismatically there is all the difference in the world between an MS64 grade and an MS64 details grade. The seller could have whizzed the coin himself, but his photo does clearly show it and he tells you grade it yourself...and he tells you it's a details grade. These should all be warning signs unless you agree with his "details" grade and are just looking for a cheap album filler.

    very helpful that you pick now to tell me .... i got my money back so i'm happy either way...if you look at the feedback its surprising at how many people can't tell that they are cleaned

    :D At least he gave you a refund! Hope he didn't charge you that 10% restock fee he mentions.

    Again, if you file through PayPal, you will get 100% refund including your original shipping.

    Which I don't agree with, but I don't make the rules.
