The OP is not the only one to be confused by exactly what is toning, or in my case, exactly WHAT is a naturally toned coin supposed to look like?...
"Cool", or I would rather say, interesting. I just hope it is not a rare variety!
I think overall you did well to return it. Another anomaly about that coin, IMHO, is the sharpness of the word "EBORAC" compared to the...
