I'd say MS64 or better based on the photos. Could Garner a star/plus due to toning. I'm no expert on NT/AT evaluation. If one side or the other were toned peripherally, I'd go with NT. Seeing color on both sides like this raises the question, though.

I saw a few of these Morgan dollars with similar toning end up in Artifical Toning holders, so that's my basis for my guess.

With new pics, I'd also have to agree. I was pretty confident with NT with the first set of pics, but will side with the AT crowd with new pics. Surfaces are quite lifeless, and also agree with the over dipping. UNC details, cleaned and AT, QC to say the least.

One more reason I gravitate away from heavily toned coins.

Unc Details-Cleaned AT.

This is a dead ringer for the infamous pci slabs.

I wonder if this is a coin where they wrap a coil around the edge and the coil heats up causing the ring ?

Cleaned/retoned. You can see the hairlines in the right field of the new reverse pics.

Still leaning towards AT, due to the lack of pullaway, among other things.

If I roll a bunch of silver coins in brown paper, and after a certain period they get that or a similar toning around the rim, would that be considered artificial toning?
