I think you're going to do fine. Those are tough with detail and no corrosion. The fact the problem holder states cleaned tells me the planchet is probably smooth without issue (other than the cleaning).
I feel that it turned out ok for the bad pictures that showed little to nothing. After cracking it out of its plastic, it has a few marks but looks ok and its a better variety too.(S41)
I like it. It looks good. It really looks like the old cleaning might have turned back to dark chocolate, no? I see a couple of obvious areas, but not too terrible in my opinion.
Yeah, nothing too bad here. The darker area on the left side of the coin is from the desk lamp near the coin, it moved around when I changed the angle that I took the picture from.
I don't think it was cleaned, just more wear or smoother looking where it was unevenly struck, so it looks lighter and glossier in those areas affected. Not a bad price, and you got one with some decent rev detail. Many of the lower priced '94 cents seem to be nearly slick on the rev. Took me a while to find an inexpensive one with reasonable detail on both sides and no major problems, like this one you posted.
