I hope this is original surfaces because if so I'm so buying it.   |

Based on what I can see I don't believe we are looking at original surfaces on your coin. Better pitures of the coin out of the 2x2 might help.

Been dipped, then rubbed with some grime like motor oil to darken the high points to simulate some circulation. Note the areas not gotten "clean":  |

I don't know where the details guys see cleaning from in these photos. Pictures aren't ideal but I see natural luster. Get us some better photos.

MikeF: Hint, look at the reflected glare on the flip, lighting is angled to show the best "glare" on the coin. I do that with my 2 LEDs and it cartwheels for some reason, optics maybe? But the coins I use are definitely cleaned. Devices tell the tale.

Due to the questionable color, cleaned is my guess.

Definitely cleaned. Quote:

You guys can't with certainty come to that conclusion based on these pics. Over-reaching and assumptions based off of poor pics leads to bad advice. Something that is way too prevalent on this site.

Color is definitely un-natural and the darker parts (especially on the reverse) is evidence of it. We can never be 100% certain with pics but with these it's clear that it's a cleaned coin.
