    To me it looks not authentic, more of a cast copy, but I really can't tell from an image.

    Edges, devices and lettering all look pretty good even if worn and with red oxidation. I think it is legit and no unusual problems for grade.

    I don't see anything in that photo that makes me think the coin is fake, but it is very hard to say from a photograph.

    Don't really see anything that makes me think the coin may be fake - but to the original question, I would say yes. It has absolutely been cleaned.

    It looks real and uncleaned. I recently saw more than 100 of the type in the Reserve Bank of Australia auction, so I have a decent perspective.
