1889 O Morgan / Is it NT, AT or ED?

I'm kinda bored today, so I was looking through some junk silver dollars. I'm trying to figure out if this dark looking dollar is naturally toned, artifically toned or has environmental damage. When you turn it at angles, it has some kinda nice colors to it. Just thought I would ask for your opinions on this. Sorry, I'm not very good at taking pictures. Thank you.

Looks like a good old fashioned combination of dirt and tarnish to me. I like that look on old silver.

NT bordering on environmental damage IMO.

If it's AT, someone has a LOT of practicing to do! Looks NT to me. I would guess it circulated in a high tarnish area initially, and the rub took off the dark toning from the high points. Then was relocated to a low tarnish area and didn't get much color back on the high points.
