Thats a hard pass here for sure
Typical PCI AT junk.
Are those new PCI artificial toned coins from the REAL PCI company? I see their crap all over ebay when I'm looking for real ones and I just assumed it's some knock-off a-hole trying to scam folks.
Poor photography.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

Butt ugly!
Did it get dark toning over the decades?
Sure 66 plus on the ugly scale. Nice coin.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't minted that way. At least I reckon not.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
Glad that it’s not a 79-O or 80-O.
It looks like a coin that was dipped, not properly dipped and now the residue is ruining it over time.
The coin is artificially toned. There are a couple dozen or more on ebay in those new PCI slabs. If they are indeed put out by the real PCI company, I will be disgusted. They had a history of accurate if not conservative grading back in the '90s.
The true worth and beauty are found within, and that being "different" is not inherently bad, promoting themes of self-acceptance, resilience, and finding one's place in the world.

From what I have heard, the latest iteration of PCI is a dealer that self slabs these coins that have already been artificially toned. It is not the holder causing the toning. And we are multiple owners removed from the respectable PCI of the 1990s.
Now I'm not going to able to sleep for at least 2 nights.
JEEZ that gives me second hand embarrassment!!!!!

The photos are very poor. I’m split between AT or a very poorly dipped coin that has turned over the years as suggested by Bill Jones.
Definitely chemical usage to accelerate oxidation.
Not an aesthetic result IMO.
