S-295 Plain 4
Late die state. Sometimes called "Bearded Liberty"
VF30-VF35 sharpness; the color is not natural and the surfaces do not look original to the coin - smoothed? The bust looks "flat."
Some light porosity left of the point of the bust and left of S8.

VF-35 but the color is a question mark.

color is odd, but a lovely classic head large cent.

I'll say VF-EF. Color is questionable.

doesn't look like a cast. the markers are there for a 295.
i'll go with XF40 and if thats the real color in hand then I have to go with altered surfaces/questionable color. you just don't see this overall consistent grayish color on an LC. the biggest marker for recolored imo is at K5 obv as well as K1-K2 where it appears that whatever was used is chipping off. this is not a 295 marker

Good evening. I have just got the coin. As I promised, I am posting new pictures I took a few minutes ago. Daylight has gone here, I did my best. Coin is brown, as you can see. Previous pictures were shot with too much artificial light, I guess. What do you think? Any opinion is very appreciated. Thank you!   Edited by afornaini

definitely better view of the actual color. I'm on the fence with re-colored however paralyse may be correct on this one. one thing for certain I can see is that those little round circles especially reverse don't belong there so something happened to the original surfaces.

Thank you all for your opinions.
I think I made quite a deal in buying this coin. I spent 320 euros

With those smooth surfaces, I think you did good as well! Recolored or not, it is clean and sharp for the type.

VF35-XF40 Questionable color.
Looks to have had altered surfaces at one point.
Still a nice looking tough type coin.
