    Yeah, pancake 40-S strike (maybe even slightly above average), but also AU. Stand the coin on edge on a white piece of paper. Look down at the obverse. You will probably see the white paper reflected everywhere except for a vertical band from Liberty's head to left foot, which will be gray. This is a quick check for AU on these that does not give false positives.

    Definitely AU and looks to have been dipped. Strike looks pretty solid though.

    From the pics looks lightly cleaned. AU grade wise.

    pics make it a little tough to grade the cleaning (if any)
