I'd retake the picture and this time put it on a white piece of paper. This way we can tell if the white balance of the picture is correct (that will help show the true color of the coin).

Great details but yes, the color looks off. Here's one of mine that still has a lot of red showing, although the photos don't pick it all up.

BH has it right, if it looks more like his coin its likely problem free or close. If it looks like your pictures with that high reflectivity, then it's probably been overdipped unfortunately...but still would make a great type coin I think.

Great looking coin, but when I first saw it, I though dipped too. There appears to be some different shading below the eagle and it looks almost too clean. It could just be the pics though.
