There's quite a bit of light coloration on the coin in the protected areas and one can even find some red holed up in the deepest recesses however in my opinion it is properly designated as brown. (I have the coin in my possession and Brandon captured my image and was tweaking it.)
It appears to be an early die state. Clean surfaces. Would be nice if I could see the reverse, too. Image #1 IMO makes the coin appear more natural. If I saw a 200 year old copper look like image #2, I'd wonder what had been done to the coin.
