The high spots seem flat and abraided on this, my first thought was wiped or harshly cleaned.......or is this from the dies?

From the photo's it doesn't look like the coin has anything wrong with it.
BUT, if you feel it's been cleaned then I will take you word for it since you have the coin.
It looks fine to me, I'm just not familiar enough with these yet, I appreciate the help.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Kind of ugly in any case

Not whizzed. Many denominations of U. S. coins were like that in the early part of the 20th Century.
Reverse is awesome. Obverse okay.

Have you weighed the coin to see if it is underweight?

The flat appearance and lackluster look is not that uncommon for the 1931-S.
64 for me.
