Whichever your preference is to call it, what do you like about it? Or dislike about it?

Oops, I meant "toning" in general. So I axed the image.
If the straight on shot shows the edges darker instead of color I would say NT and I like the way the darker toning is fairly evenly distributed from center to edge.

Now you tell us.
In general I like colored rainbow toning that is obviously old and not too flourecent. Rust is bad, tarnish if interpreted as dark toning with no color is good.
Toned in general shows the originality of the coin. It would be difficult to find a 100 year coin that is white and has never been dipped. I would think that the color would be a little goldish at best.
