1902/1903 IHC's...how's the color look?

Just purchased these two. Something in my head is telling me the coloring might be questionable but what do you all say?

The 1903 is unusually bright, especially with the absence of any luster. The 1902 looks good to me, just a brown type of coin, probably a low mint state example.

 

The obverse of the 1802 looks fine, but I can't tell what that spot is on the reverse. The 1903 - no way to tell with that picture.

 

1902 looks good except the previously mentioned spot on the reverse. If it's not the lighting, that 1903 is funky. Its pure orange, not natural toning from what I have seen.

 

If these were taken under the same light source the '03 is not natural coloring, my opinion

 

Not even close to the same light. These are the sellers photos and the 1903's photo is just horrible. I'll have to take a proper photo of it when I get it.

 

The first one looks like a nice coin. The second one looks like it has been worked on.
