I see black in this kind of condition all the time. I probably have 8 pair in black that look this good.
Copper in this kind of condition is extremely rare. They should shine like a new copper penny. Generally they are all banged up and heavily oxidized.
This pair was built in 1959 has never been touched since they left the factory and everything works. Not like they should any longer there is no real bass any more. The Mylar was gotten stiff over the decades and panel resonance goes sky high killing bottom end. But they do work.
It has been a good couple weeks finding great speakers here in KC.
