Well... I believe it's legitimate.
Besides the pictures, SG measured at about 10.36 and the laureate edges seem original.
Of course I am open to all reviews and welcome all information others may see which I donīt!

However, I am more concerned about grading. The surfaces seem maybe to have had some corrosion at some point.
I really am awful at fine grading (NGC like) these kind of pieces.

I just took this pic... I believe it reflects better the real color of the piece although not perfectly.

Ohhhhh, now I see. The coin could have salt water damage, but now also looks as if it's been cleaned. But I still say it's genuine.
You can also check here and see the pic of a real one I posted of my friends coin from NGC and compare it to yours.

Hi GMS5!
Thanks a lot. Actually you are right, I just found it (The very same coin) on Heritage and it was sold on 2011, back then encapsulated by NGC labeled as XF Details: "Sea Salvaged".

Thanks a lot for your ideas,
Best!
