  Coin may be nice but the image sure looks blazed out in the contrast department.
  
  
  
  Edite to add: I just realized BC is battle creek.

  They look like Bondman photos, overdosed on saturation.

  Just wondering who is Bondman and what sort of stuff is he into?
  
  
  The image may be a touch, but only a touch oversaturated, most notably in the purple. Unless you've seen the Battle Creek coins in hand you cannot appreciate just how VIBRANT they are... which is why they went for Bongo bucks. They really do POP. I'm looking at both coins under a 60 watt reveal bulb right now and except for the purple the images are pretty close, the reverse is almost dead on. The obverse is a touch rich in the gold.
