No, I don't. If you're interested in the coins themselves, I see no reason why you would want a picture of the whole slab. I don't own any slabbed...
I would agree that the Heritage pictures are too bright and washed out. But the pictures in the slab are much too dark and unevenly lit, showing...

To the ancient Romans, Mercury was the god of commerce. Freedom of thought had nothing to do with it.
I collected all four years at college. It was an extremely trusting environment at my school though, and I didn't have any security beyond the...
I should have caught that. Its amazing what a difference a good photo makes.
The coin is Price P34, Abydos mint, 323-317 BC. Heritage sold one in April for $1750 (below estimate). Yours is slightly better, but you still may...
