Cleaned XF. Still pretty nice for a 200 year old coin.

EF. Too bad it's been cleaned, but at least it wasn't polished, and it's in a pretty nice grade anyways!

I don't know how you can tell it's been cleaned as I'm not expert enough yet, the seller let it go for less than a tenner (quid) anyway so maybe that was his fault wink.gif

A very fair price!

The cleaning is most evident on the reverse - where the re-toning is spotty, and the color has a pinkish hue which results from cleaning copper.
