<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1269157, member: 26030"]Brandon, thanks for the info on saturation. I am no expert with photoshop, but what you said makes sense. I was just trying to get a guage on what it might look like less saturated. I think the bigger question here not so much about the juicing of the sellers photo but if this coin was AT'd. I guess it's possible as many AT'd coins make it into holders (esp NGC holders). AT vs. NT is always a difficult question as supposedly it's all about intent. </p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of getting this TrueView Photographed ... It's in an NGC holder and PCGS is notorious for not crossing NGC coins. So I would have to crack it out and submit it to PCGS raw to have a shot at PCGS holdering. And PCGS will only TrueView Photograph PCGS graded coins. If I like this coin in hand and end up keeping it, it would be easier for me to ship this one off to one of the many great private coin photographers as I use an iPhone for my photos (which has a lot of limitations).</p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of coin photography.
