Is this 1865 IHC cleaned?

The seller - in all caps - says it's not. But, I wonder. It just doesn't look right to me, but I don't know diddly - or Bo for that matter.

    Color looks odd. Maybe it was dipped. I can't see any cleaning scratches in the pic but that dosen't mean they are not there.

    odd is for sure, at first I thought it was a CN. Maybe a rare CN 1865 IHCimage

    Dipped long ago and has since turned this odd shade as a result. You can see some of the original skin of the coin around the shield and in the nook & cranies of the denomination on the reverse, the toughest places to get at.

    the part of the description i have trouble with is A very nice higher grade coin since i see it as a F-VF with some serious marks on the obverse.
