Great find Juan. Congrats !! Thats a nice looking coin and a ++ EF grade. Not many out there.... I have a raw VF I picked up a few months back. I've looked forever for one.

The obverse is cleaned? It doesn't look obvious in the pictures.
When in doubt... don't.

Yes
Obverse is very obvious wire
Brushed
When you tilt the coin

Juan... I don't know how you do it, you keep on finding the tough ones. You're especially good with 78. Congratulations.
