[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1016039, member: 2972"]Wow, that's too bad. The first shot you posted earlier made the coin look a LOT more appealing. The problem you describe can be helped if you have a good shot of the slab so you can judge the color of the coin versus the color of the slab insert. By comparing the dark of the text to the dark of the coin, you can tell if the photo is overexposed -- in a photo like the first slab photo, the lettering should be ink-black (not grey as the first photo shows), otherwise the coin is going to be darker than it appears. Sorry to hear of your disappointment -- live and learn.....Mike[/QUOTE]
