Thank you for posting the photo of the coin. I have a question. As a novice, I would i be able to tell if the coin has been cleaned in the past. I don't seen any parallel scratches. Thanks

As a novice you need to look at a lot of coins. Known cleaned ones VS known uncleaned. This was probably cleaned 30+ years ago and was stored in a wyatt Raymond album. The sulfur contained in the albums pages caused the coin to tone.
