I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.

    The colors are a little different from what I am accustomed to seeing.

    But I really like it. Different ain't always a bad thing. image

    Its a very pretty coin but the toning doesn't sit right with me.

    I think it's a damn shame that the TPG's are holdering so many ATed coins this year.image

    Color does seem off, perhaps it's the white balance???

    The white balance is fine looking at slab details.

    Sorry to say this but the Elgin just reminds me of the last Easter Egg that's dyed by mixing all the colors together.

    Coincidently, the Elgin Coin Club is having its spring show today. Its a small, but nice old time show with about 20-25 tables.

    The color is atypical but I don't think it looks AT!image

    It's pretty and it's slabbed but it's not a color that I've seen before on an Elgin.
