1828 Half Penny - Brown w/some red Full luster?

I have what appear to be some really nice coins. They are raw.

My favorite is an 1828 half penny. It is brown with a bit of red showing through. It is somewhere between MS64+ and MS65+. Very very few marks and an excellent strike.

My biggest concern is that it pretty much has full luster. You can actually cartwheel it.

Do you think this has been doctored?
I should say " My wife thinks I need help."

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    It would help to have a pic. The tentative answer is no. I have lots of early coppers in mint state that are lustrous. A coin that is truly uncirculated but dull (no luster) would be a problem.
