My apologies upon closer study the coin that Jerry posted (Heritage Link PCGS) is the exact same coin as I posted from Heritage (NGC Link) The coin in the Stack's catalog and Elder catalog blurbs are also of the exact same coin. The one linked at Stack's by Numismatic Student is a different coin.
Lighting can play a huge difference in photographing, just moving a light a centimeter or so in any direction can change the look of the coin drastically.
I see no wear the coin is a PR 66/67 and RB color in my opinion. Striking pressures could vary widely in Pattern Coinage, the mint was generally not making them as presentation pieces for collectors, only to see if a certain design would work, the press was likely not adjusted much between various patterns and types of planchets used, hence a strength or weakness in strike could be apparent from coin to coin.
