[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 25649934, member: 36248"]This whole coin photo thing, is worth every penny you pay PCGS, GC, NGC or a private coin photo person on one of the forums. What a royal pain this process is. Between designing the template, takes multiple rounds of photos, sourcing the gear itself, altering the light based on the type of coin, dealing with multiple software packages, Naming and organizing the files, etc. :banghead: $5-$10 per coin is a bargain! Keep that in mind next time you're going to grumble about paying for TrueViews, if you were ever inclined to do so. Worth every penny by a long shot. And I like doing this stuff, and these are my own dang coins! I'll be back in a few months once I get the next 100 coins processed, LOL.
