Something doesn't look quite right about this. Any thoughts? Dipped? It has great color, but I can't see if there are rubs in the high spots, and/or if this has been doctored in any way. Thanks for your help.

Tights,

The surfaces appear too reflective to be "natural". I think it's had some help, probably a dip in the chemical pool.

Obviously this coin has never seen rough use, which, to me, means that it has been part of a collection or hoard for the extent of its history. The toning could be the result of long-term storage, I suppose. My biggest question, really, is the roughness of the obverse fields giving the surfaces a porous look in this photo. Overall, it's a very nice coin. What's going on immediately below Liberty's chin?

I think someone's been playing around with the lighting and contrast of the coin. Run away from it, because you can't trust them!
