Penny Ruby or +Red Iridium?

No, definitely not brownish tint. Truly grey base. Finally decided to pose my pennies side by side and it’s clear as day the +red and the ruby. Now in the one pic, I’m getting that glimps of blue halo. But I’m equating that to the slight orange to yellow lense perimeter light transmission. All in all I say case closed, unless we want to dive deeper into determining a custom cut. Now my next step is to tighten my bridge of the other penny. Haven’t worn it in a while and see that It’s loose as ****. 53857AB0-712E-4068-BC76-D8715B553C67.jpegC1145858-7207-4863-8BEE-2EA7C42259BA.jpeg72C6ED5F-6518-4B80-AA5A-72B7E004794E.jpeg
 
To me, those look ruby. For some reason the Penny always had the coolest ruby lenses with a lot of blue/purple showing, especially the earlier ones. I have heard that store employees would shuffle through the on-hand inventory looking for that deep blue/purple when purchasing the Penny for themselves.

Edit - Did not see the most recent pictures you posted. Now I think they could be some sort of custom cut of +Red or aftermarket lens, the base does not look right as you mentioned.
