Toned 1893 Columian half.

I got this coin a the Danbury coin show today in Connecticut.The whole face of the coin is a lite goldish red with a darker red into the letters to the rim.There are dark blues from rica in america to llar in dollar.Also in united and at the base of the neck.The reverse colors are similiar.The face of the coin is a darker golden red.The ship is a sea green with a mixing of the golden red.Some darker blues in exsposition.Purples are showing under and to the sides of the two worlds.I have 4 scans. Two are flat to show detail and two at an angle to attempt to show the colors.I would like to here your opinions on this coin.What is confusing me about the grade is the cheek bone and eye socket bone.It looks like it may be rub or an area that hasn't toned.I would say it is either an au-55 or an ms-64.Sounds weird huh?
