I just found this one on the bay and bought it. I think it's beautiful!! Thanks for looking.
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Also, does this coin have another side, or is this the super rare uniface version?

<< <i>I like the colors, but are you tilting the coin? Using axial techniques? Bumping the contrast and saturation? It looks sort of "un-natural" in terms of how it would probably look in hand under most viewing angles.

Yes I have tilted the coin into direct light. Very close to in hand with the exception of the great luster the image does show not well. This coin is still in the original mint packaging. Yes it does have another side and not rare at all.
These early 1970's cased dollars are very often found toned. It has to do with their issue case, which had a piece of foam pressed against the reverse of the coin while the case was shut. The obverses tend to tone very slightly as well. In 1974 they started issuing the coins inside a capsule rather than exposed to the air/foam of the case.

I checked the cert numbers of them all and found that PCGS did an image of two of them for CoinFacts:
And they did a SecurePlus scan of this one even though it's not in a Secure Plus holder:
