Is the toning worth getting it graded ?

Great color which makes for great eye appeal (to some people), which can add some value.
The color does not increase the grade, but I suppose getting it slabbed would provide assurance that it is not artificial toning..

Blurry, out of focus, going blind.
Getting a grade for toning?
Peruse the following is recommended: https://www.pcgs.com/grades
Edit to add:
Estimated grading cost:
$16+$10+$22=$48
If using a voucher:
$10+$22=$32
You would need to provide a better image, front and back, to get a recommendation on whether or not to send it in.
Unless it grades super high I do not think that the color alone would justify sending in for grading. The color needs to be stronger and more vivid.
Sorry for the image. No matter what I couldn’t capture the true color of the coin. It’s a proof and would grade MS.

Try cropping.
I did
Post it.
I can not tell if there is a hit on your S mintmark, or if it is the rare RPM

There is it’s just a weak strike
Here are some more pictures. What about the S mark. I can’t tell the difference between repunched strikes
If it were mine, I would sell it raw.
As is you should have little trouble getting a premium for the toning.
Will TPGs kick back artificially toned coins? I noticed some 1964 proof Jeffersons on eBay, and was wondering if modern nickels take on these colors naturally. Examples below.

I believe you may be able to get a small premium for the tarnish...not sure it is worth the fees to get it slabbed. Let us know what you decide to do...and the results. Cheers, RickO
The pictures don’t do the coin justice at all but I’ll keep you posted. Thanks everyone
Yes, please post the grades when you get Thomas back.
the date comes that way... sorry but nothing special
