What is the reason to tone them like this?
That doesn't make sense bc it wasn't toned by a human it was in a roll of 2020 D shields. So there was no reason to tone them like this bc it's naturally

I'd almost want to snap a pic of the coin and the roll, just to document that it came into your possession that way... of course, photos don't ALWAYS mean accuracy & truth...

True I could ask the seller. Looking at it and experience of seeing different Toned coins this is a true natural tone no doubt about it.

I'm with the crowd that it didn't tone naturally within such a short period of time. It's awesome toning, but artificial imho.

I'd have to disagree it's not artificial. I've pulled 4 other toned shield cents some not as extreme in color but are toned and they are from obw rolls mostly roll enders. Color progression is spot on. The whole coin looks right as well passed through toning for it to be natural.

Beautiful coin!. I've seen a few other Shield Cents with similar toning, but none as dramatic as this one. Congrats on the grading!

What kind of value and market is there for these?

Value and market?
All depends what a person collects like me I enjoy shield cents errors doubled dies and anything related. It depends on the collector now I would pay a premium for toning bc it is cool looking and "rare" in some sorts. I needed up getting this for a steal of $50. A 2020 D MS67 is already around that price when it's not toned so I did good.
It was a genuine post from a genuine collector who wanted it to go to someone at a honest price and that's how I am with collecting I like to give rather then take a huge amount of money for a coin. Ofc that opinion will change when dealing with different coins. Shield cents though if I've got 50 of a doubled die I'll just give them away.
Market wise all depends toners have a good market but modern modern coins aren't really looked at yet (2010 and up). In 50 years the market will be booming for the shield cents I think.

That's because half of them will be gone as they are abandoned from circulation and will be zinc rotted to death.
