Elevation Chromatics on a Modern Toned Proof

I picked up a toned Ike Dollar yesterday. It's a proof copper-nickel clad PCGS PR67 and it might be the first example of elevation chromatics on a modern PCGS-graded toned coin that I ever recall seeing. All other examples of PCGS-graded elevation chromatics that I have seen were coins dated in 1800's (mostly Morgan silver dollars).

For those that don't know: Elevation Chromatics (a term developed by toned coin expert Brandon Kelley) refers to how the color progression on some toned coins lay on a coin's surface over different "elevations" of the design. The lower "elevation" of the surface will be toned in one color while the higher "elevation" will be toned in a different color. This effect seems to be visible in Ike's hair and ear.

But Phil Arnold will "make it so".

My WOW factor is the difference in the price guide and the amount paid. BTW the sellers images appear to be enhanced to me so have a hard time determining toning pattern.
But the old Brown box Ike's do tone up nice sometimes. As for the label who cares the thing was made this year and it's a repo signature label special made for PCGS dealers as well.

Just got this coin in today's mail and snapped a few iPhone photos in indirect sunlight.
I love stuff like this.

I will be curious to see what this looks like as a TrueView photo.

hummmmmmm, while I admit that is atractive it isn't something you see everyday.

I like it, looks very nice and natural.
I have noticed that toned Ike's do tone up similar to this one.
