1922-D Peace Dollar W/ Toning!

I made sure. I'm dead serious. It's not obnoxious, ugly toning like you're referring to. In hand its pretty dark. Unless I hold it up to a light. It's because the pic I took like this was only possible with a desk lamp that was close to the coin.

The way to describe the actual toning in hand (without light), would be it's mellow and subtle.

I need to work on my photography skills.

I read an article about toned Morgan dollars, that described the cycles and the different colors. I also looked at AT Peace dollars online. Doesn't look AT at all in hand. Obverse has light steel blue toning, with light red in the center. I found a pic of a Morgan, that has the same colors this Peace has on the reverse. (Morgan was labeled as in an envelope)

Also, this photo is really over exaggerating the colors. They are very calm in RL. Sorry if anyone thinks I'm arguing, just that combo of sub-par lighting and photo skills that includes a photo of a coin in a case with light reflecting off of it doesn't help me.

MS-62, toning looks like what you would get if stored in a 2x2 envelope with high sulfur content paper, the type that existed in the 1950's and 60's.
