<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1527181, member: 26030"]I got these photos (of the same coin, a PR65 Shield Nickel) back from PCGS last week. They are actually slightly different (though they do look very similar). I can usually quickly pick a favorite between a choice of two, but I struggled with which one to pick as a master image (for the PCGS database). Ultimately I picked the top image as the master, due to easier to read (see) devices and a brighter yellow color in the interior of the shield (which gave a kick to the contrast). But I also like the softer look of the 2nd alternate photo, a bit more pleasing to the eye, and perhaps slightly better color. Tough decision. At least I can keep both versions in my personal database.</p><p> </p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1876_ShieldNickel.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1876_ShieldNickel2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
