<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bone Head, post: 377150, member: 14057&quot;]If you had a choice RED Lincoln cent,40 years old still in the mint set cellophane and you wanted to photograph it for sale,what would you do? It&#039;s impossible to get a good photo thru the cellophane. Plus, the dings and scratches on the cello look like they are on the coin. To photo it thru the cello and explain the marks on your, MS65 Red cent, requires a leap of faith from the buyer who may be skeptical from buying into &quot;CLAIMS&quot; made by unscroupulous sellers. When you remove the coin from it&#039;s womb, just to get a high grade photo that shows EXACTLY what is there, again, who is going to believe you when you say, &quot;I just removed it from the sealed mint cello,and the coin has never been touched.&quot;</p><p>And if you remove it, you introduce doubt that the coin has been handled and stored properly. Improper &#039;handling&#039; causes all kinds of crud to show up on the coin, and some of it doesn&#039;t show up for a long time. Like the white powdery &#039;infection&#039; that grows on pristine uncirculated copper coins that you have only held on the edges with your fingers....What would you do?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
