<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris B, post: 3730768, member: 87179&quot;]I recently mailed a submission to NGC. These are all new acquisitions from either last months WFOM in Chicago or CONA from the following week in Ohio.&nbsp; Since I didn&#039;t have any of these imaged and my photo skills aren&#039;t the best I figured I would pay the $8 per coin. These are all coins that I feel were &quot;better&quot; coins that I didn&#039;t mind spending a few extra bucks on.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For those of you that don&#039;t know. NGC photographs these prior to grading. One thing that I like is that in addition to the below photos they include the photos without the NGC background. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let me know what you think of these photos and if you have had experience with Photo Vision. Overall I am pleased with the results. Some people call these glamour shots. I agree to a certain extent. They do make the coin as appealing as possible. The lighting is perfect or at least close to it which is the biggest benefit to me. I have a hard time getting the lighting correct. This isn&#039;t something for just any coin, IMHO, but neither is professional grading. </p><p><br /></p><p>#1</p><p><br /></p><p>German States </p><p>BRUNS.-LUNE.-CALEN.-HANN.</p><p>1724 EPH Thaler</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Crowned shields in cruciform</p><p>Obverse Legend: GEORGIUS - D • G • MAG • BR • - FR • ET • HIB • - REX • FID • D •</p><p>Reverse: Wildman with tree in right hand</p><p>Reverse Legend: BRUN • &amp; • LUN • DUX • S • R • I • A • R • THES • &amp; EL •</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruler: George Ludwig</p><p>Note: Dav. #2077.</p><p><br /></p><p>Composition: Silver</p><p><br /></p><p>ex Henry Christensen</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1000362[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>#2</p><p><br /></p><p>German States</p><p>SCHLES.-HOLSTEIN-GOTTORP</p><p>1669 1/16 Thaler</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Tall bust right breaks inner circle at bottom</p><p>Reverse: Inscription in 4 lines</p><p><br /></p><p>Composition: Silver</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1000363[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>#3</p><p><br /></p><p>German States</p><p>SILESIA-LIEGNITZ-BRIEG</p><p>1673 6 Kreuzer</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Silesian eagle, crown above, (VI) below</p><p>Obverse Legend: MONETA NOV.
