Crazy Color (but not AT) !?

Whenever I mint a new item, I usually cull out a few pieces that have minor surface imperfections.
Then I subject those to various experiments (sandblasting, burnishing, toning, etc.).
Once in a while I get a totally bizarre result. Like this piece. But is it AT (Artificially Toned) ?
I say not. Because as the issuer (minter) of the coin, I can issue it with whatever surface
finish I want. So what you see here is the ORIGINAL "IT" (intentionally-toned) finish:
