<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 26061653, member: 77639&quot;]Recently had a French 100-franc pattern coin, designed by Bazor, graded at PCGS under gold shield service, which includes photos.&nbsp; The obverse has a portrait of Marianne, the French Miss Liberty.&nbsp; Just received the photos, and there is what appears to be a hair extending from Marianne’s cheek to her neck.&nbsp; It is not on the coin or slab.&nbsp; Might be from a brush used on the slab or camera lens.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, what to do?&nbsp; I can remove the hair with postprocessing, which takes a bit of work.&nbsp; Most folks would not be able to tell it was done although an expert could.&nbsp; Before and after pics of one of the images are below.&nbsp; Or I could take it to a big show, and they could probably photograph it on site.&nbsp;&nbsp; Or least desirable, ship it back to them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I’ll probably just take the lazy route and be satisfied with my pixel tinkering.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1658940[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1658943[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
