Definitely polished... look at the contact marks on the reverse, and general wear. Cool iridescence, but a damaged, circulated coin.

Yep, no way this coin is MS 65. Just looking at the obverse I see 3 dings on the columns in the Lincoln Memorial, Its still a cool color, I have one in my album that is purple on the obverse and green on the reverse. Have no idea how it got like that buts it a beauty.

Looks like a found penny that spent some time in a shoe.

Damage on the reverse will keep the grade under AU--in my opinion. Does appear to have been cleaned.

Agree with others, appears to probably have been polished or cleaned at some point. It's about a VF level coin so it's seen a lot in it's life.
Nonetheless, I save these interesting toners in rolls as I find them if they're worthy in my eye. Makes for some interesting modern rolls to look at once you fill a tube!

That blue/purple color comes from industrial cleaner on copper. I've done that to several pennies. I don't do that anymore as I don't like blue/purple pennies.
