<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2253071, member: 19463&quot;]Please forgive old fogies like Bing and I who predate the invention of slabs.&nbsp; I got a great chuckle out of your statement that you love the look &#039;in hand&#039; when that is exactly why we actually like to lay hands on the coins.&nbsp; Perhaps we need a new term for the situation when a coin looks better when enclosed in plastic than it does when that plastic is photographed.&nbsp; I do not claim to be able to photograph a coin in a slab since I have only owned one.&nbsp; I do think that one photo &#039;came out&#039; rather well though. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]446013[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder how much of this is artistic license and how much is the fact that most domesticated plants and animals have changed a lot in 2000 years.&nbsp; Does this image show an accurate view of a pomegranate &#039;then&#039;?&nbsp; Look at some of the horses on coins.&nbsp; Few look like something that runs in the Kentucky Derby or pulls wagons of Budweiser.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
