My SBA dollar seems to have some toning. Perhaps there is another way to describe the color. The word toning might not apply. Is this coloring on an SBA desirable?

Since there is no silver, it is not toning in the numismatic sense. It is nickel over copper, so it is basically nickel patina, the kind you see on many nickels.
I like the way it looks and save nickels I find with this heavy patina However it does not add to a coin that really has no intrinsic value to begin with.

It looks good to me. In other words, it does not hurt.

Good looking coin and strong cameo! I'm an SBA collector and the market seems fairly weak at the moment for them, but that sure doesn't hurt any eye appeal!

All toning is desirable no matter if its silver or not.
