Ok my firewall blocks me from accessing your site... you know CCF has an image optimizer that will shrink your images down to an allowable size? right?

Jolson, I used imgur, it should not be blocked and I already tried it, it made the images ~220kb, still didn't work...

Sorry man, I am at work behind a pretty strict firewall, a lot gets blocked... If nobody answers by the time I get home I will take a look from my home computer.

The color worries me greatly... it should be gold. Did you use a filter? But it looks like it could rate in the MS category, however, something tells me this could be a fake... I hope more experience members will jump in and offer their sage advice.

Well it looks silver and for a coin that is supposed to be 90% Gold - 10% Copper; the color seems wrong.

This color doesn't look off to me. Here is mine, obverse is the true color, and the reverse color looks a bit like yours.  |

 Ok well that appears gold to me... IDK, it is 1am where I am... maybe it is my monitor but his pictures look extremely silver to me... but with that being said if is gold toned then I would think you have a very nice coin there. |
