Different toning - red flags?

What do you guys think? NT/AT? Distinctly different color of toning on the obverse from that on the reverse.

I would not worry about differences between obverse and reverse toning, that seems pretty common to me depending on how it is stored.

The toning differences could simply be because the obverse was face down against the wool felt (which was covering mahogany or oak, or ?) of someone's coin cabinet.

I will accept your coin as a nice giveaway, and consider it NT (the toning pattern on the obverse looks very legit) .......... of course, one might have to submit it to the TPGs 5-6 times before they decide it's not 'questionable colour'!!!

To me, the color is fairly consistent. Looking at the peripheral toning on the Obverse from 6-11 o'clock, the same color appears on the Reverse. I vote NT!

Edited to correct spelling!
