Yeah i mean c'mon. That coin is what...90 years old and it still "managed" to have that glare? A tip i got is that when it looks cleaned or polished it will have a bluish look to it. Copper is VERY delicate when it comes to cleaning. You'll ruin the whole value of a coin if you think that cleaning it will make it better.
I just went back and looked at it again. Notice near the rim and around Lincoln.......see the bluish color? I wouln't buy it. No value when cleaned.Comment

And dosn't a coin have more than usual detail when it still has some of it's luster? If you look at the back the weat grain is completely worn away. Now wouln't a coin with some luster on it still have enough detail to be able to see a "little" bit of the grains? Just a thought.Comment

Not a Numismatic term or grade but I'd say it is a Y-0:

Jonathan...for your info. the 1922D and no D coins were known with weakly struck reverses. Luster has nothing to do with the strength of the strike. Therefor, you could have a perfectly red and brilliant uncirculated coin, but still not be able to see all the wheat lines if it wasn't struck strongly enough.Bob Piazza
