Toned dollar....I'm blown away and can't get a great

Pic of this Tidy House. It depends on how you hold it and the light you are using. These pics
are all of the same coin.....no trickery....it's just how toning play tricks with you! Each example
below exhibits true colors in these different lighting situations. Love the coin but cannot describe
what it looks like because it all depends. Oh and grade if you care to.

I like the first one that was photographed out in the afternoon sun, but only because it has more of an artistic look than just a toned coin.

In addition, toned coins can be hard photograph. I sometimes get a headache just trying to get the colors to jump out on the coin.

Cool coin! Saw it on the bay too, but passed. I do like the blue toning though. Looks 63ish

Somewhat hazy, dark, yet colorful toning. Yeah, not easy to capture the full essence of the coin in one picture. I'm actually taking a liking to the afternoon sun pic with the long shadows. SWAG grtade is 62 for me.
