Looks like it had been exposed to some chemical agent that unnaturally toned it.

While it may well be artificially toned, I've seen clad coins left in the console of a car where the heat mixed with the sulfides and sodium from fast food cause the same result. If that were the case, then to some degree, it could be considered natural. I don't see it done intentionally from the photos. Nothing wrong with keeping it if you like.

While it's possible, I'd say AT.

I like the toning. The metal has reacted to environmental agents. Now, were the agents deliberately introduced by someone with the full intent to tone the coin, or was the coin exposed to said agents simply by chance?
