Love the copper... hate the slab.

Got this one in the mail today. Lovely satin surfaces, but between the glare off the slab and the fact that the slab is beat to hell (even after I polished it), I'm not happy with the pictures. After about 45 minutes of shooting I cried "uncle", so this is it.

It's an NGC MS66RB Pop 1/0, with no MS66 pieces at PCGS.

    I'm pretty sure that NGC will charge about $5 to reholder it.

    I dream of getting photos through my "mint condition" slabs that look that nice image
