Do you think this 1814 CBH can grade MS?

I'm thinking "Unc details improperly cleaned" especially at NGC. If it has the detail of an Unc. but not the luster, I would not likely see a straight grade.
Looks as though it may have seen a dip at one time. Looks unc. Any luster on the coin ?
First impression was not original.
I don't think it grades.
Something looks off on the left side, not sure what though
I'm going to be harsh on this one

Been worked on. They had trouble removing a few stubborn dark spots around "RICA" on the reverse. How is the luster?
Wish there were a tab to upload 5 second video clips here.
It looks cleaned to me - to the extent that I’d expect a details grade.

it has the sharpness imo but this will boil down to surfaces which the image makes difficult to discern. ie: flatter than a pancake.
It do look like it spent a bit to much time in dip from the pictures.
If that’s the eBay seller I think it is, (their pictures all have a distinctive look), I’ve bought several coins from them and have never been happy with how they looked in hand (cleaned, hidden problems, etc.). Now, it’s possible those were isolated cases, but thought I’d tell you just as an FYI.
Cleaned.
Cleaned, unc details
Definitely looks cleaned...die clashed.... Probably get a details grade. Cheers, RickO
BHNC #248 … 130 and counting.
Pics taken in this style are bad news. The lighting effect makes the detailing pop while obscuring the surfaces. The coin could be fine but don’t take any info from those pics.
AU details, most likely cleaned
Thanks everyone!
Not just there, look at the horizontal lines in the shield. Quite a bit of crud there, too.
Cleaned, no luster. Despite the sharpness, the coin can't get anything but a "details" grade.
