on a 1 to 5 scale (5 = highest), how would you rate the tone on this 1951 proof dime?

i can't get a clear photo with my iphone so i just shot a quick video with it to show some light running over the coin. the reverse is seen there too. here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CywLdy38nK8

obviously the large white spots take a lot away. but how much would you say?

Rate the tone against what standard, pretty? I think the color is around 4-pretty, but when you figure in the distractions, the coin is around 3-pretty.

I agree, it's somewhere in the middle. What's most desired is striking rainbow. This coin has basically just 2 colors. It looks like a solid PF 66 PF 67 coin anyway so It's a keeper. A significant toning premium may be a reach.

Your pic makes it look like the color is clouding the reflective fields. After viewing the youtube clip, the mirrors are deep and reflective which makes it beeter in my opinion.

 

pic score - 2

video score - 4
