    I can't find a hint of color in the NGC photos. Now I'm wondering if the seller actually uses gel filters, or maybe multiple lights with different color temperatures, to get that pastel-rainbow effect...

    From what I recall a lot of their coins have this same look. Some of their feedback call them out on it if I remember correctly, but it's been a while since I looked at this seller.

    If I ever clear off enough space to take up coin photography again, I'll want to give the different-color-temperature thing a try. I think I actually had some issues avoiding it in the past, where my subject lights didn't match the ambient color temperature.
