Hard to see from these tiny pics.

hard to tell with small pics. I'm going with VF35. obverse is stronger. the color does look odd. maybe recolored. these early coppers are hard enough to grade let alone with a difficult pic to look at. many were weak strikes and is not actually wear. any way you can post larger pics to look at?

There's no question about the color. It's off; the coin has been messed with.
