Well I finally got a chance to take a couple pictures of my new Icon Coin. I took the pictures with a couple differant lights and angles. I'll take a couple picture of the reverse tonight or Saturday. I tried to capture around the devices were the coin exhibits an almost proof like apprearance, however I failed at captureing this.

I suspect the first photo is the most accurate as far as representing how the coin actually looks in hand. Now what you gotta do is crack it out of that slab and take some EdgeView™ photos for us.

Yes the second two photos (is actually the same shot). Is done with a whole lot of light, an attempts to show the reflectiveness of the fields.
Yes I may crack it out one day, but at this point it's safer in the slab, until I can get a nice Capital, or Dansco album for the set.

It's in a PCGS holder MS 63. The reverse is more mundane as far as coloration (I'll try to shot some photos on Sat. There is three small light scratches (Though possible hairlines) on the jawline that I believe preclude a higher grade. I honestly think it may be a touch overgraded for this reason as well, but I did not buy this one for the number on the plastic. I bought it because I believed I would enjoy the look of it, and I do
