  Great close up photo.
  It looks like it was album toned. Did you find it in a roll?

  It's definitely end roll toned. I took it out of a roll that came directly from the treasury in 1962 (purchased by my father).
  
  It has some nice greens and blues. I need to learn how to capture those colors...

  try shooting your picture from an angle, such that the light bounces off the coin into your camera
  
  this is another endroller (obverse is white) that if you look at or photograph dead-on, looks dark grey and black, but if you tilt it at the right angles, the colors come out. even in this photo, you cannot see the pale green at the top of the coin that is apparent in hand, because if I try to capture THAT color, the bottom goes dark again.

  I like colorfully toned dimes from the early sixties, because they can't tone in the mint sets and are harder to find with nice colors. I pulled three awesome brite green and purple end rollers out of some OBW rolls I had purchased. They will be traveling to Newport Beach, CA soon.

  With a little patience and some well placed flourescent lighting you can capture toning pretty well. If your coin is raw, it's even easier because you can put the coin right in the line of the reflection to bring out all the colors. To bring out luster, mix in some incandescent (REVEAL) light as well - the results are pretty awesome!

  Thanks for the tips! I'll work on it.
  
  Here's another try... And the roosie from the other end of the roll...

  Cool dimes. I've just been getting into Roosies and I haven't found any nicely toned ones yet
