<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 26058575, member: 10461&quot;]I bought this coin at the 2025 FUN show, on the final Sunday of the show.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/tq/sthxwlgfg0p6.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Numismatic photographer John Baumgart (aka [USER=1765]@messydesk[/USER]) had already packed up and left the show on Saturday, or I would&#039;ve had him image it for me.&nbsp; (He had done a pair of other purchases for me, on Saturday).&nbsp; At ten bucks, he would&#039;ve been the better option, since the coin was in an older NGC holder without those nasty white prongs to intrude in the photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>But since John wasn&#039;t there, I took it to the NGC table and submitted it for Photovision imaging (which required I also pay for reholdering). This raised the total cost into the upper $30s range, all told, and added weeks of waiting for the turnaround.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I think it was worth the wait, to obtain a nice set of images. Doug Plascencia at NGC does good work.&nbsp; As of this typing, I still do not have the coin back, but I&#039;ve got the photographs.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/09/baeus0ctx3kh.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/61/bjzq66rx84rf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/cj/sd5j1ju9fdul.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
