It might be the lighting from the picture, but the coin looks dipped or cleaned as it seems to have no lustre whatsoever.

I'll go with au55.

There does seem to be a bit of glare, but the colour doesn't look natural to me either. I'll go EF40

AU50...but that colour is wrong..and not natural.

Are you reflecting the pic off of a natural window light..?

I mean..orange/red at the top..blueish across the middle..and then green/orange at the bottom is not natural for a copper or bronze cent.

Ideally, you want blazing red like many of the Landon examples..orangish/red..or an orange/red mix and then the chocolate browns of the darker cents.

I would like to see better photos with less light, too much glare on it the way it is now.
