Newp BC toner - interesting pattern

This came last week. Interesting pattern to the toning. My guess is that the coin (stored in the clamshell case) came out of the holdfast. The right side of the obverse must have been covered by the plastic with the toned portion of the obverse was in contact with either the felt or the styrofoam. It must have moved at least once since there are two crescents on the obverse. Kind of interesting; sort of a negative of what we see with crescent toned Morgans. I like it!
