And if it wasnt cleaned how much do you think it would be worth?

Thanks

$20-$25 uncleaned AU depending on price guide (can't find my '06 Redbook right now).

It does look AU to me, cleaned I'm not too sure about.

if you look at the reverse you will see a lighter area around the letters especally "One Dollar" this haze comes from cleaning most likely a harsh dip job

Looks like a fingerprint to me.

Not a key date so don't despair dipping...

I'd say it's been cleaned and polished.

Only the poster can tell us if it is an accurate representation of the coin, of course, but it sure looks like it has been polished to me too from that picture.

I agree with the AU Cleaned opinion.

Mildly whizzed on both sides, '83-O w/ typical chicken breasted weakness in reverse strike indicating later die life. That one's a candidate for mounting in a bezel for jewelry use, which has probably already been done to it before.

Worth $8-$10 to me on a walk in buy or if postage was included. One like this doesn't merit a grade other than 'damaged' when I have them.
