Very nice find. I am on the look out for one of these in a CAC Rattler.

Really nice
That looks original, all right. It's interesting that the coin has the predominantly blue-green toning that these are so well known for. I don't recall ever reading a reason why Columbian halves (and Isabella quarters) can be so commonly found with these colors.
