Is this coin fake or, natural toned?
The date is 2005 so I think its fake.

It would be very difficult for this sort of toning to arise under natural conditions in such a short time. I bet some person was actively involved in the process. It looks kind of neat anyway, but I wouldn't pay much for it.

One not very sophisticated means of accelerating toning is to put a coin in a baked potato in the oven.
Heritage has a nie article on toning, real and artificial, and in betweeen.
