This one has an odd darker color than all my other 64's I have. Do you think it was tapped? Thoughts?

Here are some Pic with old scope as I am having trouble with the lighting setting on the new one. I feel as it's Like a cameo color and wish I could show that when taking a picture lol.

It's nicely toned. Toning can happen for a variety of reasons, depending on environmental factors.

A 'normal' '64 with pleasant toning caused by exposure to environmental agents. Minor obverse misaligned die as well.
