Hello I'm a newby here with a question about a 1868 Indian Head cent I recently bought. It is a UNC coin and has a rainbow color to it. Is this a possibility a cleaned or legit color?

Determining the natural color (or lack of) on different types of metals takes experience. That said, as stated, we need pics.
