  I like it because the soft colors reflect the obverse and reverse images real well.

  I think if you angle it toward the light a bit you will get some great color on your digital image.

  I recall that the John Jay Pittman examples of Phils shared close to the same toning pattern.

  The second edition of Dr. Richard Doty's America's Money, America's Story (available in a few weeks) shows nice enlargements of some beautifully toned Philippine coins.

  I don't care for the toning, but love the coin because I know the significance of it. Very nice. Very nice, indeed!

  Thanks for your advice, I will try it later.
  
  I think the images I provided is pretty close to the actual coin as you can see here the sellers photo.
  
  
  
  I am actually impressed when I received the coin in hand. Worth awhile of spending that kind of money.

  I've always thought this coin's design was within the top few on my list of most beautiful coins. I also like the toning!
