1881 Morgan Dollar - is the coloration toning or damage (or both)?

Another "new guy" question... I can't tell if this 1881 Morgan dollar is toned, damaged, or both. The details are much better than any other Morgans I have (which isn't saying much - I don't expect there's any use in submitting this) - the stars are very crisp in hand, the hair details look good, the eagle wing feathers look complete, etc. - but the color is much "worse" than my others ("worse" in quotes because it could be toning but my rookie eyes aren't that sophisticated...). Apologies for the pictures - I'm limited to a scanner and iPhone with not a lot of practice, so these may not provide any useful info... but I'm specifically asking about the reds and blues that are most evident in the 3rd and 4th pictures.




Thanks.

Jim
