Even though it's slabbed, that *can't* be completely natural toning.

I have a 1862 as well, mcanniz. I found it in a foreign coin bin and snagged it for $0.25

It's in XF details, but has a hole & a clip (like someone took scissors and cut the rim, literally)

NOTE: I filmed this video several years back, my voice & camera quality has obvious changed drastically for the better since.

Pull up the Heritage auction from earlier this week on their site, ha.com, and look - there was a whole run of MS65 and higher and also PF64+ proofs.

Small sized 90% silver coins in MS and PR from the 19th century have a tendency to produce some of most spectacular toning of any coins around.

No argument there. But I thought it awfully coincidental that the "C" device on the reverse had its blue toning so isolated from the other colors. But looking at some of the other examples, I guess it isn't so coincidental after all. Perhaps the change in surfaces at the devices affects the toning pattern.

I went back to take another look at the listing, but it has been pulled. So for those of you who missed it, here it is:
