Is it me or does this toning look suspicious?

It almost looks painted on, very unnatural as if its only on the surface. Is this hiding problems on the surface of this coin?

Whole coin looks suspicious...not really, just fake.
Could just be the picture, but my bet would be AT. Suspicious authenticity. Zero feedback...BEWARE!
Counterfeit
Very counterfeit.
You’d better be an expert in trade dollar authentication if you plan on spending much money on raw coins. I’m not sure that even half of the ones offered for sale are authentic.
stands out like a sore thumb....

The toning might be the only thing right about that coin

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Sorry, but the surfaces are far enough off in texture that the corrosion is best described by whatever phrase might be used to evoke the disgust of a perverse frosting on the cake being fed to said coin-doctoring counterfeiter in a Hieronymus Bosch Hades. Something passed in a Beast Biscuit Might not be in Bosch, but that is from some ass-bitten ass-biting mean-ass Circle of Hell.
Being kind and generous because of the assumed innocence of a seller with his virginal stats.
Edited to add: I just checked the reverse. This specific coin has an interesting pedigree. Based on a blowup of original celluloid from Walt Disney's seminal "Steamboat Willy", overlay matching has confirmed that this is the original "Mickey Mouse Pocket Piece". An historical coprolite of importance across many important collector niches.
edited to add: So if it's you, just count yourself lucky. You got away with it again
Any time a username is xxxx-#### (0) where x is random character and # is random number, just move on.
Also, reported.
Collector, occasional seller

Anyone want to post pix beforehand? Do it soon.
