Looks a little splotchy and, it could just be the pics, but are there hairline scratches in the field in front of Lincoln? Anyone else feel this could have been cleaned or AT? As for the grade, I'd say it goes max 63 but my gut says slider, MS-58.

I am dreaded for a coin in such a good shape without any mint luste. I am highly suspecting it is cleaned and recolored. UNC details.

From photos only I'd guess that it's been dipped. Once you dip copper it is never ever the same color as the original. For those who can't distinguish that bold line I'd suggest you dip a few coppers yourself. Regardless of the age of the cent you will soon learn which color is real and which is dipped.

As for grade, AU-58, details, cleaned.

AU-58, don't have a strong feel about a possible cleaning.
