    Either it has been cleaned or it's just a bad pic.

    It does have that cleaned (or a dip gone wrong) look

    Pass. Looks cleaned.

    Besides looking cleaned, it also looks XF45 to me... there are no breast feathers except around the periphery.
    When in doubt, don't.

    This coin represents why the 1892-s is undervalued in AU. (this coin is not an AU coin). This coin was cleaned to the point where it is just not attractive and unfortunately most optimistically AU graded 92-S Morgans have that same pattern... dipped and ugly. This is a coin that should get a body bag.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
