I bought this 1916 penny and noticed this colorful spot and did not know if it was cleaned or not.

I think it would be a MS 64 or 65 but please let me know what you think.

please look at the photos in this google slide.

Can't access the file. Who's going to wait for an approval before you can see anything. Just send a photo.

Not an MS coin at all.
I see wear on the moustache tip and robe chain.

Same. I see minute wear as described from shoulder ornament to mustache. Not enough of a larger pic to see about eyebrows and crown.

To give a more accurate grade, we need to see a complete clear photo of both sides.
Can’t grade from a partial photo.

remove from the cardboard flip for the best photos - there is some marking that could be on the coin or on the plastic.
