Happy Saturday! I've had this in the coin box for a while, I think it was a gift back in the day. Just wondering if you thought this was natural or artificial toning. Sorry the pics aren't the best.

Natural but funky. Might be from a result of an old cleaning.

It appears natural to me, but the color and the spots make it unappealing to me.

Looks natural to me with a fingerprint on the obverse.

Probably natural. Not very appealing.

Looks natural to me. That being said, it is not a type of toning that is really sought after
