Yeah! It's very good. Since no one noticed anything suspicious in the coin, I'll consider it
genuine. Thank you all 4 your help, good luck!

It's genuine and just to be "nit picky", The bright copper highlights is from a bit of over cleaning so the patina is stripped in those areas. l

It seems like that. It's a pity that the patina has been erased in places. But by the way, this is secondary, the main thing is that the coin is genuine=)

Those thick green chunks suggest that it was in contact with other coins/copper based material while it was in the ground. Coins welded together with that stuff are a nightmare to get apart, so I understand why a bit of overcleaning happened here.
