Circulated 1890-CC Morgan grade, need your opinion

Not my coin. I'm trying to figure out if I got this correct. I'm thinking VF details, cleaned. Am I right on both counts?

Thanks!

VF25, maybe VF30 details. Can't tell from those pics on whether or not it has been cleaned. It could go either way. IMO, the starting bid is way too high for a coin with questions.

I see no cleaning. Nicely preserved (undamaged) commerce used dollar.

Priced about double what most would pay for it IMO.

Looks more like a strong Fine to me. Overvalued regardless.

Value is less than $100. The most common of all CC dollars and lots of them around.

Keep searching or send me a PM.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

There is no question that the coin is priced at 2x what it should be, that was clear to me. I wanted to know if I'm grading it right. It is a friend's coin, and he usually overprices all his stuff. He called it a VF, so at least grade-wise that seems to be in agreement with most posters here. Also it's good to know that you don't think it was cleaned. I was thinking about the black dirt in the recesses of the letters versus the relatively shiny upper surfaces, but I guess that can be the result on honest wear as well.

Yes, that's a result of being pocket carried....dirt sticks in the recesses and pocket "cleans" the higher points.

It does not look cleaned to me. However, I'm looking on my iPhone.
