I love the detail, especially on the hair but I'm a little concerned about the colour change in toning in between the bust and the legend. Do you think it could be old cleaning?

We used to own that coin, and no, it has not had an old cleaning.
Well, Father's Day and my birthday are coming up, so...
No.

Thanks CCU. I was pretty sure being such a rarity and having passed through famous hands + PCGS and CAC wouldn't have missed it, but I'm new to coppers and wasn't sure how the toning mostly appeared around the letters (especially REX) and not so much in the fields.
I'm just here to learn and believe the best way is to ask without trying to offend that is.
Looking at your pictures from the Stack collection it does look like natural toning and it is a great coin.
