If you remove the toning it'll expose even more imperfections in the fields and possibly cloud the mirror effect. Leave it as is.

I agree with WTCG. The coin is NT all day long, and the toning is a big part of its appeal IMO. Removal of said toning will likely uncover previously hidden or ameliorated bagmarks and/or hairlines.
Not to be contrary, but I would dip it. Toning like this tends to obscure the mirrors, and with this coin, the mirrors are everything. Just don't expect the coin to look all that great -- there are many contact marks on the obverse.
You folks can't be serious to think the front, with that ugly brown looks as nice as the reverse??? And I own a boatload of toned coins. This one is plain ugly, and let PCGS do it if you want it done right! (Just don't expect a DMPL!)
This guy knows how to take pictures, and that is the ugly color, it doesn't get any better I think!
