If it is not toning...can someone help me understand why the coin is so "black"?

Looks like just plain old dirt. Toning is when the very top layer of the metal changes color through a chemical reaction.

Even though its not toning, those are some pretty damn good photos, what camera are you using?

I'm using a Sony MVC-CD300

i don't think it's dirt, it's corrosion.
