    Since you asked.

    Unfortunately she's been scrubbed, which is an all-to-common plight, and it's too bad. Perhaps also artificially toned, but the photo is not good enough to tell for sure. There are much better out there, generally in holders.

    Harsh polishing has knocked down the design so it ain't AU any more. Too bad.

    It's probably the image, but the date looks wonky, so it also looks counterfeit to me ... I mean other than being shined like a wall street shoe

    Looks crummy. Put it in 2x2 for the junk box. Or probably in a flip for bourse tray.

    Appears cleaned would have to see in hand in order to price it.
