What are everyone’s opinion on toning on ancient coins? 
 

See link for an example

Do you mean "pretty colors" as toning, or something more normal?

What's on that coin looks to me like tarnish, not toning.

I'm with Jonathan.....that looks like tarnish rather than toning.  Based on the photos, I'm not hot on that coin, honestly.

That's a good point, Mike.  To the OP......I've noticed that you've posted more than a few of these Imgur links.  Most of us on here will not click on those due to the risk of malware.  It would probably be good for you to start posting photos directly to the board if you want us to actually look at them.

“Toning on a coin is the change of colour brought about through oxidization, which forms a thin layer of tarnish on the metal's surface.”

Then pick the word of your choice to mean "environmental damage that screws up the coin."

show me an ancient silver coin (that hasn’t been restored yet) lacking oxidation on its surface and I’ll give you $1,000,000
