Is the picture you posted how the coin looks in-hand? If yes, the color looks off, like it's been cleaned. I'm not an expert in this series. I'll be interested to hear from other CT members.

 

not got in hand yet im thinking it may be the light. many british coppers i got show red light that in photos taken with flash

 

That obv has some problems

 

Looks cleaned and retoned with damage on the obverse. AU details.

 

thanks

 

I'm thinking N-28. R-3

 

ok got it in hand and took my own pictures

 

Au 53 details cleaned. Color is totally wrong
