  It looks rather dark to me. Toned IHCs aren't that difficult to find, and with some searching I think you can find a nicer one. I like the coin you linked, but not as much as many others I've seen.

  The pictures appear pretty dark; I bet in hand the dark spots above the date
  and on the reverse stand out more.

  Looks 63BN at best to me. I think it would be darker in hand than the photos show.

  I'm not a huge fan of the coin. PCGS probably wouldn't cross at grade (if that was your intent), since they
  usually limit spotted copper to 63, from what I've seen.

  Too many spots that appear to be raised. You did well to drop out.

  I like it too. Be warned some of these toned proof indian cents only show color when held at the right angle towards the light and can look pretty ugly when viewed in a normal fashion but I know you know this.

  Descent coin...which brought the price I would have expected.....but I do think you can find a better one. I do see what attracted you to the coin though

  I think you did well to drop out early. Toning like that is almost common on proof IHCs, and not worth much of a premium.

  Even though I love the toning on that proof, I'm not a fan of any proofs with spots.

  The spots will only get bigger. Look for one with out spots.
