After searching for some time for an MS example of a 1953 SF Small Cent, I finally snapped up this beauty on ebay. It arrived today.
ICCS has labeled it "Lustrous Brown" and I like how it looks, but I'm wondering how natural this greenish toning is. I don't have any other small cents that exhibit toning quite like this. Surely if the toning was unnatural, ICCS would have labeled it "cleaned" or something to that effect.
Your thoughts?

You sometimes see that same toning on 1944 cents... It can be _really_ hard to find a bright red 1953 SF cent, I hunted for one almost 8 years...

Thanks for the opinions and info guys, good to hear from others that the toning seems natural.

SPP-Ottawa, I like your 1953 SF better
