I would say exposure to sunlight will tone the coin like that. The coin obviously has been handled a lot as seen by the scratches on the capsule. Someone's been playing with the coin and probably left it in the sun, maybe near a window.
That makes sense. I bought it at a small Can. PO outlet with a display near a west facing window . Approx. how long does this take to occur or can it vary ?
