Sorry, but I don't believe this will make it into NGC or PCGS. Harshly Cleaned. Not a bad coin, as these are difficult to come by especially at reasonably affordable prices.

You really think it's harshly cleaned? There are no hairlines anywhere on the coin.
I knew it was lightly cleaned a long time ago by looking at the devices and wondered if it would slab problem-free. I have seen much worse in problem-free PCGS and NGC holders.
At least it was cheap. The guy had priced as a common date VF20 and this is a better date.

maybe it's just the photos but near the date on the obverse looks pretty harshly cleaned but that is the only spot I am seeing.

I think if you inspect the forward leg, there appears to be some abrasions as well as near the date and surface areas. As I stated, these are tough to come by " RAW" that have not some damage or harsh cleanings. All in all, it's not a bad pickup.

If it hasn't been erasered by the date, then I agree!

James is right. I would grade the coin as a Fine-15 except for the fact that there has been intentional rubbing in the date area. For that reason it will not grade. If the coin had been left alone in that area, I think that it would have gotten a grade.

If I were to assign a grade based upon the photos presented I would have to agree with the F-15 graded suggested. I'm not at all surprised the seller was asking VF20 money for it though, tough date to pickup raw.
