if it is it hasn't had the crap scrubbed out of it

 

the reason i thought it may of been was because of how bright it is considering its age

 

Yea it should have at least some oxidation
Unless the day someone got it they preserved it and only professionals have handled it
based off the photos I would have to say either cleaned or copied

 

cleaned or diped

 

its deffinatly not a copy, ive collected coins long enough to be able to tell that. dipped is what sprung to mind as there are no cleaning marks

 

Patina (mield oxidation due to age) comes in varius colour,sometimes not present in some area.If it is uniform the value increases.In your coin it is not uniform.Otherwise , it is a VF old beauty.
