The coin isn’t fbl by any means. But am fairly new too collecting and just figured I would ask input on it.

There is artificial toning and actual toning ("tarnish" is the actual, non-marketable and therefore not often used term!). Plug the follwing into a search engine like duckduckgo.com and find the many, many references to this very subject: "artificial vs actual toning coin"

Also, Daniel has a good video on it which you may want to check out first.
