<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 24872504, member: 36248&quot;]Okay, here are the long promised new slab photos from coins I re-slabbed years ago but never took new photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>BEFORE and AFTER.&nbsp; These slab shots are intended to show the full shot, not a close up of the coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; So priority here is less about showing the coin as a perfect closeup, and more just a balance photo showing both the coin and its frame.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>[OLD SLAB]</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1596262[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Box Position (7):&nbsp; 1857 Cent Flying Eagle NGC XF45 CAC <i>[RESHOOT]</i></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1596260[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1596267[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I love Obverse of this coin, my problem is the Reverse.&nbsp;&nbsp; Every time I see photos of this coin I get annoyed, as the hits/marks under the &quot;CENT&quot; looks almost intentional to me, and look like scratches.&nbsp; &nbsp; It&#039;s not ideal when something bugs you about your own coin in a box of 100.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie88" alt=":sour:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The really sad part is I sold I coin that was rejected by CAC that I liked better, to get this coin.&nbsp; Coin photos make it look worse in hand due to light catching the marks.&nbsp; The sellers photos sort of hid (not intentionally) the areas that bugs me, but honestly those old shots LOOKS more like then coin does in hand.&nbsp;&nbsp; Without direct light hitting the coin surface, you don&#039;t really see the problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>So now I am wondering if I should upgrade this Box Spot yet again... Even though the problem is exclusively bugs me in the pics but not when looking at the coin in hand.&nbsp; &nbsp; (first world problems)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I would say time will heal the wounds, but really, those scratch-like marks have been annoying me since 2014.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Seller photos from like a decade ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1596266[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if this <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/check-this-cac-grading-comparison.409504/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/check-this-cac-grading-comparison.409504/">could even get into a CACG holder now:&nbsp; </a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
