NewP Liberty Nickel and story of two images

I won this coin on Heritage last night for addition to my toned Liberty Nickel set. It sold for average for the grade money, which surprised me somewhat. This image does give it a darker appearance. I figured it was par for the course for a 63, and had potential to be pretty nice. I’ve been pleasantly surprised a number of times with Heritage pieces that are nicer in hand.
For kicks later in the night I decided to look up the cert number to see if it had appeared in prior auctions, and it had. Seven years ago it sold at DLRC for close to $200. I've never been a fan of DLRC images, but in this case, I think it is hard to argue which one did the better job of presenting eye appeal, at least to those of us who like this look.

I do not know anything about this coin, just playing photo editing "auto correct".

You are 100% correct ...You never see toned Liberty Nickels very often.
I bid on 6 coins - won 5 - I'm buried in them - but I kept saying to myself:
When will I ever see the likes of these again ?
My favorite one from the five newps:

It is a challenge. but one I undertook. I first put together a virtual 'dream set' of other pieces from auction archives, retailer sites, and other registry sets to figure out if a complete set was doable. I embarked on the journey a couple of years ago and am pretty pleased with the outcome. Total of five coins away, including the three super-keys. The coins are displayed in the digital album linked at the bottom of my posts.
