A coin I desperately want to add to my collection and am umming and arring about purchasing the one in the below video. 

I’m not too sure on it polished/cleaned/brushed perhaps? The obverse seems worse than the reverse to me. Any and all opinions welcome and would be gratefully received.

I was trying to use the "Quote" function without including the video, but it is almost impossible to do so, unless you create a line break under the video when posting.

"polished/cleaned/brushed" It is difficult to tell from the video, but some wear and tear is generally to be expected on a century old coin made for circulation.

It is what it is.

It does not look obviously polished, and if it has been cleaned or brushed, it does not really matter if it has been done carefully enough to be undetectable.

Whether it is genuine would be of more concern, although that is even harder to tell from the video.

I presume it is the seller's video, not yours, otherwise adding some still photos would help.

Thanks both, and yes I suppose I was missing the point there really. Who cares if it’s cleaned if it’s fake!
