1909 s wheat penny cleaned?
Just recently purchased this coin on Ebay for a hefty 160USD. Seller claims it is VF+++ after receiving it in the mail today and examining the coin, I feel like it has been cleaned. Any input? Did I get a bad deal?

Image are not cropped but it looks like it could have been cleaned but $160 is too much.

What would you say this coin is worth at most? And what do you mean the photos aren't cropped? Thank you for your response!

You didn't crop around your coin, it's a bunch of space with a tiny coin in the middle. The shouldn't have been more than $100.

It’s been cleaned with a toothbrush (I have done it and the coins looks like yours after cleaning with a lot of tiny scratches that runs everywhere)
