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.
I agree with Steve but for what it's worth.... https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/794579/stained-and-artificially-toned-coins
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.
