I sure like the pics of the coins out of the holders. Look alot better than the ones I took holdered. Wonder when the price will go up?? Only downside is the time it takes and the $25 if you want a CD with megapixel pics.

Grades - P64, P65, P65, AU55.

    Really stunning coins (and pics). Worth the extra $ IMHO.

    BTW, what's that short curly thing on the second 58 proof, just under the "NT" in CENT. Ewww! image

    Great Half Eagle. What keeps it from a 58? Nice color, reflectiveness.
    Collecting since 1976.

    Nice coins! Out of curiosity what's the fuzz on the reverse of 2nd 1858? Is that actually on the coin?

    It could be a Canadian nostril hair...image

    Lint mark, I hope.image


    I just shipped 20 slabs for reholdering and images, and I'm working on another group of 50+ virgin never slabiphiled coins....hey, this could get expensive. I sure hope PCGS grades these coins accurately, or I will have to get Laura involvedimageimage

    I think its a bargain.It's not just the great photograph you see, but it's also the scratches you don't.

    I'm going to assume that this won't be a service offered at a show? Or will it? image

    Looks like a short hair strike through.

    Don't expect that it will be a show service, at least not at the $10 level. I think there would be a market for very high end coins at the $100 level, allowing dealers to photo expensive coins for ads and keep them reasonably available in inventory for sale at the show. Can't compete against a service that can photo coins out of the holder and reholder them.

    Nice pics. My only problem with them is that I prefer pics that aren't reflected light like those are. I like to see the sparkle of the frost on dark fields for proofs instead of dark frost, light fields look. Those are just differences in technique though.
