I received this 1900 Indian Head in the mail today. It's a high grade coin with nice colors and a little of the "woodie" thing going on on the reverse, but I'm wondering if it might have been cleaned and retoned, so I thought I'd ask for opinions.

Sorry for the glare on the edges of the photos, but I took the shots with the coin in the seller's holder in case I send it back.

Thanks!

Surfaces don't look natural to me. The denticles under the date and wreath has splotchy and unnatural looking blue and purple toning.
Rest in Peace

Toning does not look natural.

Thanks for the responses. I think it is toned as well. I'll send it back.
