I believe this is what you're trying to post. Correct me if I'm wrong

 

[jwc]

yes it was. Thanks.

The coin looks AU, in terms of detail, but I suspect that the color is not original.

Looks to be re colored .

The sharpness grade is AU, but it's been re-toned, probably with sulfur. Given the fact that it is a very common date, the coin would probably bring something like VF money from someone who is willing to trade sharpness for originality.
