Some re-holders as my submissions start to make it through.

I sent three medal for re-holder to PCGS and the order posted with the images today.
The first two were to get them into the newer format holder and out of the style that I really didn't like. The old ones were opaque with a thin sheet of plastic between the layers that made them visually distracting to me. Also, they were larger than the present style and the two I hadn't made storage and handling awkward. I know it sounds silly to some, but I like things to be uniform.
With the third medal, it's one I purchased a little over a year ago and it was mis-holdered, placed in a standard thickness capsule which allowed the high relief obverse to come into contact with the holder. I requested PCGS to please examine it and make sure there was no damage done to the medal, followed by encapsulation in a thicker holder. Judging by the images everything is OK.
I also have two additional crossover orders: two Walkers with grades already posted but no images and a monster-medal that has crossed but not yet posted. I only know that because of e-mails with PCGS due a screw-up I made on the submission form.

Real nice looking medals.
Great medals @keets !
The are all great. Especially like the Washington and Lexington!
Really nice medals Al... I can see why you have become focused on the medal segment. Real art, which is sadly missing on U.S. coins now....Cheers, RickO
Me too, but is it the typical red shifted photography?
@keets how do the TVs compare to in hand view?

the images are quite accurate, especially the Columbian medal which has almost brick-red fields.
Simply amazing art and design.

Superb eye appeal!
Medals such as these should be much more expensive. True works of art.
