looks a little underexposed and shot in daylight

and otherwise normal to me.

someone has a colored shirt on, has a colored camera, or has something colored in the background.

Yeah, the lighting, and those fields really pick up reflections. Also not color corrected....blue tinge throughout. Great looking coin though!

I too would be sorely tempted to check my reflection in that damn timeless beauty!

I cannot get enough/too much of the Gold Buffalo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Bully.

I like the textured fields on the buffalos.

Camera is Canon EOS 20D, so not colored (a magenta camera was my first guess before I checked the EXIF info), but there's something else in the background reflecting off the coin which, together with the white balance fail and the gold coin comes out orange.

Do you think it's a flash, with some background light at the right (er, wrong) angle?

This is where some coin snob chimes in with "just more modern crap"
I own 2 of the 2008 FS 70s. I will never sell them.

EXCEPT for the motif, Im not a fan of either the Proof or the Unc. modern buffalos. would have rather had old fashioned surfaces, non cameo for proof and non matte (satin finish) on the Uncs.
