The “Mooncoin” on A Tribute to Michael Coleman is the jig by that name, not this tune.

Ditto for the Tommy Peoples, Mary Bergin and probably other citations!

The Mooncoin, X:2

This setting is closer to the one in O’Neill’s. In this case there are no C naturals.

Kyle Borley plays it very well here:
