macmercury I agree that your coin has much better eye appeal and a coin I would not mind even though I am not fan of most toning. I have a couple older silver pieces that have moved to full black from a nice purple tone over the past 40 years and imo is just ugly. here is one that was a pleasing blue/purple and is now is a blotchy black. this was a beautiful piece when I purchased it decades ago and the reason I avoid them.
