Not the highest grade but a TV would look spectacular.

Photos are of too poor a quality to really make any comment on the coin.
Colorblind?
Great looking color on that coin.

My thoughts...
Not trying to discourage you. But I think it's difficult to accurately photograph colorful coins. And even more difficult to evaluate a colorful coin based solely on photos.
For example, in this photo I think my 1970-S cent looks interesting (cameo IMO) but not-so-colorful:
Yet it shows brilliant vivid colors when rotated at slight angles under brighter light & magnification -- even more so than this photo:
AlanSki, in your photos, your coin looks like it's got some colorful toning. But I can't tell if it's natural or artificial toning. And the bright lighting might not create a realistic image.
For example, under an ordinary desk lamp, my 1855 dime looks dull with an almost matte-like appearance:
But under bright lighting I photographed this image:
In reality, in-hand this dime looks like a dull silver dime, possibly cleaned, with a VERY slight light-coppery tone that I can't accurately capture with my camera.

Lighting and angles make radical differences in coin photographs. We have seen that phenomenon over and over here on the forum - and, of course, in auctions/sales. In hand is the final - and critical - judging point. Cheers, RickO
Looks like secondary toning on a problematic cent.
If your photos are actual true colors and reprentation... looks like a problem coin and not natural toning.
Neat color, but looks at.
It looks artificial rainbow toning to me but in reference to the other posts it is hard to tell in the pics.
Nice looking tho, take it to a show and have a grader look at it
Colorful anyway wither natural or AT.

AT in my opinion. Colors do not look natural.
