    Correct. I should not have bumped the lights when I put that sticker on it.

    I'm confused by the question. Is there something other than the CAC sticker?

    Lighting makes a difference.

    I went 2 for four last week at CAC. This one got the green and a proof Merc I posted earlier got the gold.
    My other two subs did not make the cut.

    Very attractive, and to me the first pic (coin only) looks nicer. Of course the green bean adds to the second pic. ;)

    I very much fit the "numisnerd" description and gave these a once-over twice. The second pic is softer in focus and, as noted, differently lit.

    But what changed for me is the cool die crack details! The second pic kinda shows the DC from neck thru stars 1 thru 4. But it almost completely masks the DCs between stars 9-10 and 12-13. That kind of detail is what I really like to geek out on, and a soft-focus glamour shot, while smoothing out some of the bagginess, hides important details.

    Some things should NOT be glamorized.

    @Bikergeek That's a good observation. B)
