Looking to see what the community think about the grade and colour.

Thanks!

IMHO
EF45
Cleaned and then artificially toned.
Some corrosion is starting to reform.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I'm tempted to say this is an original uncirculated coin with minor rim issues, but this certainly not my field.

It's either a weak strike 45 or a VF-30 ... just looking at the crown vertical jewels.

The ring of pink is nice but I agree with @DBM that it might be re-toning of a cleaned coin. How accurate is the rest of the colouring? The ligher, yellowy-orangey background? The possible corrosion at 12 o'clock on the obverse is also concerning.

The vertical jewels and other high point details look better than VF30 to me. I would have put them in the EF45 range, maybe even a little higher.

I'd put it at AU50

I'm at AU50. And yes, I do like the toning. What was used as the light source for the photography? Would love to see this in-hand (in a perfect world).

It was taken with a macro lens and ring light, here another look taken from iPhone camera with natural light.

That's an unusual colour for a copper penny. Certainly pleasing but I can't say I've seen that shade of red/pink/rose on a penny before.

Looks much more attractive, yet still unnatural, in the new pics.
A nice looking coin to hold on to.

Was the black background photos taken with the tongs? If not, What does it look like without the red tongs?

There seems to be a similar colour
