The color seems a bit off on this cent. I can't find any signs of a harsh cleaning. I would like to hear some thoughts on what details grade it could get. Cleaned/Altered Color/Questionable Color. Thanks!

Looks MS but it also looks like it may have been cleaned at some point.
Rest in Peace

63RB . If it was cleaned at all then very mildly . A few tics on obverse ; one tiny what looks like a corrosion spot on reverse in the middle of left wreath . I'll say straight grade .

That's a nice MPD. Looks like Snow-9 FS-302 to me, but closeups would confirm. Very cool!

As for grade, the color doesn't look original to me. Maybe dipped? I would guess if this got sent in it would come back MS details cleaned.

I don't really see any circulation wear...so MS coin for me. Weather it was cleaned or not, maybe more pics not straight on.

UNC details altered color, the colors and finish are off however one sure way to find out if its market acceptable and thats ANACS. It's an MS coin and a pretty penny but I've handled alot of these and when they have the "different look" it usually means its been cleaned dipped altered or something.

That's a beautiful coin...I'll leave it to those who better know about original color or not.
