It's toned from circulation and it has a fingerprint on it otherwise it looks normal to me.

 

I glad it does to you I look at 50 to 100 a day and I have never seen a new coin like this being this new

 

I agree that it's just toned with a finger print.
When reviewing the Minting process there is no "toning" step to make it look this color. Although there is an annealing oven / washing / drying process before it gets to the upsetting mill which is before minting. But there are plenty of misc. reasons that it can get toned quickly out in the wild.

 

thanks for your time learn every day
