Did I finally find a properly improperly annealed quarter?

Looks like a flat gun metal grey on both sides with a beautiful new looking edge.
Doesn't look like a satin finish to me.
Included color comparison pics too.
Coins are Neato!

What do you look for in the photos?
Generally, the improperly annealed coins I see have a coppery look to them but I'm specifically looking for that appearance so I'm wondering if there are other diagnostics.
They can have a copperish color to them but mostly it’s a lustrous gray of varying shades
here's one for comparison.This one actually has a bluish tint.
They can be quite distinctive, from the couple I have seen. Not sure if there is much of a premium, but an interesting anomaly. Cheers, RickO
