Would like some comments on 1909 VDB Cent

I'm not versed with these at all but was curious what some of the Lincoln Cent experts think.

Surprised no one chimed in yet.

 

It's a beautiful coin. Is it slabbed?

 

Looks like a nice example. The color looks a bit light though for a 1909 VDB. Hard to tell if that's just the image (which looks a bit flat too and doesn't show much luster) or if the coin was messed with (artificially recolored). If the coin is a bit darker red and lustrous in hand, then I'd say its an MS65RD. If the coin is more flat and that same color in hand, then I'd say MS details and artificially recolored.

 

Looks possibly cleaned. Ms-60 details. WAY TOO MANY NICKS AND MARKS around for a 65.

 

No offense intended. I think it is cleaned because of the light, almost pinkish red color.

 

Looks like a nice coin, but too bad about the spot in front of Lincoln's ear.

 

These are sellers photos. I don't know how realistic the images are compared to in how it would look in hand. I've not purchased it but was trying to get some opinions. It is raw and not slabbed.

 

Looks nice, but cleaned in my opinion.

 

Thanks for the opinions and I guess I wont be going with this one.
