Im looking at this Two Cent coin being offered on Proxibid

The pictures are bad to start with. The seller has it listed as choice Brilliant Uncirculated. The color on the reverse has me concerned.

Opinions on grade original/details are appreciated. Unfortunately these are the only images I have.

I share your concerns about the color on the reverse, hard to say for certain, but it appears as if it's been recolored at the very least.

Might still be UNC details, though.

I sorta like the color myself, to me it does not look too distracting. If my coin, id say tentatively details, possibly cleaned .

Agree, the reverse looks unnatural.

I was on the fence, ended up skipping it. Thanks for all the input.

AU details. all of the original surface has been removed

PASS, and if the seller grades this as BU I would be suspect of anything they are presenting for sale.
