What's wrong with its eye? Looks like someone cropped an eye of one coin and pasted it over the background coin to hide damage. I can't be the only one who sees the square where the pixel colors are slightly off?

I think it's an image processor anomaly (digital zoom?). You can see parts of squares elsewhere. I'm guessing it has something to do with the highlights.

The image is already so pixelated, I'm not suspicious.

The overall color in that photo looks okay to me though. *novice speaking*

I think something is wrong with my camera USB cable . There is a scratch on the cheek. Don't now why it appears so close to the eye in the pic. Gonna buy a new cable tomorrow.
Rest in Peace

Pacun, in your pic don't really see the gold coloring, could your coin have been cleaned and/or polished?

Looks like it might have been, a lot of rounding off of devices and bust edges, doesn't appear normal wear.

If you look at the photo, you will see the small scratch under and away from the pixelated square .

When a transfer the photo the color tones down. I did not want to enhance the photo manually so I left it like that.

You've posted two very different color photos, and your question was "Are they supposed to look like that?"

First photo - they are not supposed to look like that.
Second photo - they are not supposed to look like that.

That's the best answer I can give you for now, based on the best photos you can provide right now.

Coin appears VG, in which case neither color would even be close to correct. Verdict - cleaned.
