    Hey Alex, glad you got the coin. That is one of my FAVORITE eagle designs on modern US coinage. Plus it has an S mintmark which I found on your profile page that you collect. And who can balk at an ounce of silver! On your photos, nice job!! I like the way you picked up the cameo effect (black and white look). One suggestion would be to try to color correct them in a photo software package taking the slab back to white -- that will also correct the coin color. Here are some tiny thumbnails I got when I bought this coin a few years ago. The images are too small to be useable but does give a good guide on what the slab color should be. Glad you got it!!

    The second one on the first, and the first on the second, and the fifth look best. Though your white balance is kind of off.
