Obviously cleaned... but how long ago?

Anyone have thoughts on a technical grade?

AU55 details with a light cleaning in the recent past.

Yes, cleaned, and not too long ago. Perhaps more than once. Nice details!

Net 45 cleaned and recolored I think. Hard to tell but might of been some wizzing going on to. Shadows around the stars and the remaining luster inside E make me think that.
As for when no way to be certain.

I would actually not have called the cleaning obvious on this piece, based upon the photos. There may have been a subtle cleaning at some point, but it isn't bad as far as Seated halves go. However, I don't like the apparent rim bump below star 13, especially on a common date coin. Common date coin with a rim bump = hard to sell.

Not long enough.

AU50 details, cleaned, rim ding.

Thanks everyone for your insight... much appreciated!

If I don't return her once I have a look in hand, she'll go into a circulated 7070 Dansco for now.
