    I think the angle of the light to the reflective surface of the sticker was just right to cause the green color to disappear.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Looks OK too me, if you own a CAC stickered coin, just hold it on an angle and you will get the same effect.

    The gold CAC stickers seem to have even more differing looks, depending on the angle of the light source. Maybe it is because the gold is lighter than the green.

    Just look at the halograms on different coin images to see how different they can show up under diferent or even the same lighting by just a slight change of angle.

    The CAC sticker is a hologram so you can end up with some odd colors at certain angles.
