Thoughts on Mercury toning

This picture was done on a scanner (my apologies), so the luster doesn't come through at all (and it is lustrous), but just curious if the Merc crowd finds this type of "splotchy" red/orange/green toning attractive. For those in the know, is this end-roll toning or album toning? Thanks.

If that coin is in an older NGC or ANACS holder, then at least part of the color may have been caused by the holder itself. Otherwise, that toning could have come about any number of ways including an album or roll end.
Maybe a beatiful coin in hand BUT the picuture or rather scan

The picture is cruddy but I can guarantee that it's a pretty coin in hand.

Yes, me too. I had a wonderful Pr like this with these colors but there was a pinhole in the worst spot. Coin came from Boca Raton and is probably on eBay again..

here is a good example of the gulf often between scanning/photography and actual appearances. The glossy brown coin on the dealers site looked like it had potential so I dug around auction results. The recent image on the left was online from the dealer, the image on the right was in an old Goldberg auction catalog. The coin did indeed look like I had suspected in hand - just like the Goldberg photo. I was very happy. 1906 Benson Proof 63. At the time there were about 35 slabbed.

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
