It's certainly interesting. I wonder what it was in contact with that made it tone like that on the reverse.

@spruett001 maybe it was sitting on top of a silver bar in a safe for many years?

 to the CCF! Maybe this is heat damage to the coin from a fire. It could have been in a safe that was recovered after a building burned. Or maybe a toaster oven toning test? It would be hard to prove what caused this. It's strange that it's not noted on the slab as "Questionable Color." I'm not sure if I like the toning or not.

The reverse pattern was caused by rubber bands. I don't remember who it was, but I remember seeing a CCF post where the poster had left a group of silver eagles banded together in a safe for a few years and they yoned like that.

Well I'll be! So there was a bundle of silver eagles held together by rubber bands, and that's what caused it! Clever haha

Somehow PCGS thought this was natural toning and not artificial.
