I'll post a couple other pictures with a different light and angle later to see what you guys think then.
Does this mean that it did not???

Based on the images, it has the look of original late 19th century gold that has been dipped at least once. The market now tends to accept the surfaces of such coins as "original."

As important as your question is in terms of whether the coin is original, currently the answer seems less critical and has been replaced with the questions will it grade and if so...What did it grade.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

It seems some are suggesting that TPGs look at cc coins differently from coins minted at the higher production facilities, but your coin grading at MS62 seems consistent with what I am seeing on the graded $10 Libs in my collection. I have some 61s and a 63 $10 Libs, and yours appears to fall right in the middle condition-wise
Yes, TPGs provide a bit of forgiveness to large CC coins, especially dollars and Double Eagles, with respect to surface marks.
Coins are not graded in a numismatic vacuum and considerations of when and where they were struck and how they were handled post-striking are part of the evaluation process.

I'd rather have a yardstick to convey CONDITION rarity with a full and complete STANDARD!
When and where they were struck and how they were handled post-striking should apply to all circulating coins.
