Any reason to believe this toning is not natural?

ANACS old green holder. I would like to crack and send to PCGS and am looking for opinions on the toning. I have read about "ANACS toning" over the years and have no reason to think there is an issue. The rims look natural to me, but I'm not sure about the areas near the ears, eye, nose and between the cheek and chin. I like the look, but might be willing to dip the entire coin if there is a chance our host might deem it as questionable color. The Vam is the point of the coin and the reason I wanted it. Thanks for any opinions or guidance!

I'd like to see the ANACS green holder. I only recall white ones.
Sorry..l meant green printing on the label! Lol
Toning looks like no issue but I'm not sure it's worth the expense for what looks like a common date in 64?
I don't think you have anything to worry about.
ANACS toning is more of a blue/lavender usually at the rims closest to the label.

It looks mostly OK to me. I try to avoid splotches of toning like that. I tend to equate it to left-over residue from some type of messed with that wasn't rinsed properly. I'm not saying that is your coins tarnish, just that it's possible.
I've been stocking away blue edged anacs toners as I stumble across them. I have 4 of these with the same blue edging from the slab.

Looks like VAM 4A. Doubled stars, gouge in cap. Cool!

Looks NT see no reason suspect AT. I would try cross if inclined.
I think you are ok with that one.
Well..since this is one of the 2 that I am mailing to you, I'm glad you replied!
NT. How attractive it is - that's another question altogether

Thanks for the thoughts everyone. I plan to send it to @messydesk for the Vam attribution as he mentioned earlier in the thread and then put it in my own collection. Would prefer to have it graded by PCGS before doing that even though it's just a common date.
She is very attractive @Hallco ..... let us know the result
A pleasant MS-63. Natural - and very common type - toning.
