Stained?

Would this have been called artificial toning in the past? Or is it natural staining? What's the difference between toning and staining? Is toning oxidation and staining a foreign substance, or oxidation as the result of exposure to a foreign substance? Then isn't it toning? (Excuse wrong forum until moved-I have made a request.)

    It looks more like toning (Artificial or natural) that a stain.
    A stain I would think would be more of all the same colour.

    Russell, you might get more replies if a moderator moved this thread to a coin forum.

    As soon as I posted it, I flagged it and asked that it be moved to U.S. Coins where I had intended to post it. I apologize for the mistake and I'll try contacting Heather Boyd of the Currency Forum directly.

    Back to the coin, it looks like toning not a stain. IMO.

    Does the rev look different in terms of a "stain"? Obv appears toned to me. Nice coin.
