Definite older cleaning. Don't think it has been recolored but some accelerated toning is likely. Don't believe a straight holder is possible at this point.
In any event, much more BN in hand and 62-63 in my opinion. Overall a keeper that will see a window sill for 12 months. Then reassess for grading - trying to fill a slot in my
IHC set. The oftentimes out of control bidding on GC has me looking raw nowadays.




edit for typo
I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
