I agree with DNADave. That is unless they bodybag it for cleaning.

It looks like a perfect example of a VG8 grade. One of the grading keys in the lower grades is the detail in the tail feathers. On a VG8 coin the feathers are basically smooth. A F12 coin has about 1/3 of the tail feather detail.

I don't know if PCGS will slab this coin or not. They do give some leeway to the rims/edges on lower grade draped bust coins and this one is a maybe yes/maybe no one.

heck i,ve seen pcgs slabbed ones that looked a hell of a lot more cleaned than that one.
i think you must conceed the fact that 99% of these were cleaned somehow at some point.
question is how much and how severely.
