The Trade dollar was TPG AU-55. The coin has a lot of it's original luster still remaining though, which may account for it's cleaned look in the photo. I can't account for the "blue hue". The photos were taken with an I pad about 3 years old under natural lighting next with a open window 4 feet away. I have also ordered the "modern page", which I plan on replacing with the bicentennial page.

I don't like the way my pictures look using natural lighting; overcast daylight can have a color temperature of 5000 to 6500k; that's pretty far up the scale towards blue. I prefer warm incandescent or LED lighting for coins; more in the 2700k range which is much more red overall. More flattering to coins in my opinion.

Congratulations...  It is always a nice feeling completing a album, even more when it is a type album. I never get tired of looking at type albums, you have several coins that catch my eye. If you are like most of us, you spend years completing your type set, then decades upgrading the coins. The commemoratives are what change the most for me. I like to look at mine a couple times a year and see if there is a coin I can upgrade. I feel it gets a little better with each upgrade. Enjoy what you have put together ... looks great
