I'd say this was definitely heated up somehow right? Doesn't look natural and never seen toning like this,any of you?

Not natural and my vote is either heat or chemicals.

What gets me is the reverse doesn't exhibit the same properties as the obverse. Maybe it was face-down in a puddle of something for a bit?

Regardless the "toning" is kinda cool.

I moved your post out of the Variety & Error section. Toning is neither.
Rest in Peace

To call that toning is stretching the definition -- and more than a little.
It's out-and-out damage.

I'm with everyone else here....unnatural.

The question is what did they do to only effect about 70% of the obverse?

Slambass I agree with you but I wouldn't call it toning though more like PMD for sure!
