NT or AT 1909 VDB?

Is this natural or artificial? I'm pretty sure it's natural because I have seen plenty of these blue toned wheat pennies in professional slabs, but I just want to make sure I'm spending my money wisely. Also what grade are you saying on this one? I think it is MS65 RB because the fields seem very clean.

I'm not too sure on this one. Looks like it lost it's original skin. Sort of looks AU58 retoned.

 

Hmm... If it's AU and retoned, then I should reconsider bidding on it... Except how does it still have amazing luster if it is AU?

 

AU coins don't have amazing luster? News to me.

 

Looks cleaned and retoned to me. I'd pass on it. It looks pretty but I don't buy pretty, I buy the coin.

 

100% market acceptable toning. Looks to be around MS-64.

 

Been dipped. but nice coin.

 

Nice coin

 

I’ll go with poorly lighted and over-exposed, but I think it’s a lot like mine.

 

Looks a bit like it was cleaned and retoned to me. I'd want some pics with different lighting, personally.

 

I can see it getting a straight grade, but at most MS-63. I see a lot of noise on the left side of the obverse, and to the right of the bust. Maybe give it a Xylene bath if you win it.
