Post Your Slab Shots

Slab shots are underrated in my opinion as they can show a bit more of the actual life of a coin sometimes. I know I've clicked the buy button because of a nice slab shot before. I was listing some stuff for sale last night and while the camera was set up took a few slab shots of some type coins. I know my white balance is a bit off I'm far from an expert photographer so would love to see some quality slab shots in the thread so post what you got!
Here are a few of mine:

I like slab shots because it helps judge a coins true color against the lighting of the plastic and insert.

I love the Jefferson and Roosie!
Here are some:
I absolutely agree that slab shots show more life. I think most of the time that is the case. They give a great idea of luster.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Whenever I do list coins on the 'bay, I usually make a quick snap of the obverse of the slab (I believe it is in their rules) to go along with the professional images I have done of the coin itself.
After a quick glimpse of my coin image folder I found a couple of post-worthy images (IMO).

Is that Bear's icon on the slab insert? Was it one of his coins? Very very cool if so!
Some of these coins are just jaw dropping! The toned Morgan’s are off the charts!

This is kinda a stupid slab for these coins anyway .....
Yup. Indeed it was. Let's have a jelly donut in his honor. The icon was Photoshopped in by me, but it seemed appropriate.
I’d be proud to own any one of those!!

New to me (Soviet 1980s era) 100mm Industar lens arrived in the mail today. Set it up so the whole slab almost fits on the sensor.
A tougher date Barber Half:
1941 proof Jefferson with some nice rainbow toning.
Wow! Very nice coins everyone.
I think I'm seeing double.
