This one is a bit "darker" than I'm used to in my type set. Ok, so it's a LOT darker. Other than that, it is quite nice. Great strike and details. Still some remaining luster in fields and devices(though you have to angel the light to see it. I wonder if this coin was originally in a nicotine drenched environment?

I don't see any reason to believe the surfaces aren't original. There are no hairlines, though I suppose it could have been dipped years ago and possibly retoned in a nicotine rich environment(I'm guessing on that). Anyways, I had purchased it raw for my type set at a terrific price. Maybe I should send it in to be certified.

Very nice look to it. I would keep it raw and place it in the type set as you first intended
Very nice.
